I wish to add static route for my interface eth1. But Whenever I use route command , I get this annoying error RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument.
Current routing configuration
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.73.55.172 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth2
10.64.23.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 10.73.55.173 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2
For eth0 , I want to have default gateway 10.64.23.1 and for eth2 , I want to have gateway as 10.73.55.173. By configuration is as follows:
ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 28:80:23:AF:E0:4C
inet addr:10.64.23.36 Bcast:10.64.23.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::2a80:23ff:feaf:e04c/64 Scope:Link
ifconfig eth2
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 28:80:23:AF:E0:4E
inet addr:10.73.55.174 Bcast:10.73.55.175 Mask:255.255.255.252
inet6 addr: fe80::2a80:23ff:feaf:e04e/64 Scope:Link
I am using CentOS release 6.4
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
#HWADDR="28:80:23:AF:E0:4C" IPADDR=10.64.23.36

Whatever ip route command , I give it gives me following error.
ip route add 10.73.55.174/30 via 10.73.55.173 dev eth2
