In some circumstances, you should turn off the routed daemon. For example, if you have multiple interfaces on the same subnet and you want to direct network traffic to a specific interface, turn off the routed daemon and use a static configuration.
You can turn off the
routed daemon if the following conditions are true:
- You do not use RIP or router discovery.
- You have a single router per subnet or a network in which redirects are not sent.
- You can manage your routing table directly.
Note: If you use dynamic routing, you are advised to keep the routed daemon on because turning the routed daemon off might cause unexpected routing behavior. If you are using static routing, make sure the entries are correct by using the netstat -r command to check the static routing configuration.
