Could not disable DEFROUTE in ppp connection in CentOS-6.8

[sekar]

Hello All,

I have disabled DEFROUTE=no in my PPP configuration file. But when I bring up the ppp interface it will automatically add default route with ppp interface. I need to disable this auto defroute. Please check if there is anything missing. Note : NetworkManager already stopped.

I dig more on this today and found the parameter changed from DEFROUTE to DEFAULTROUTE in CentOS-6.8 . Now it is working as expected and we can mark this thread as Solved.

Thanks
