>/Everyone is free to use the -g option if needed
/> Yes, but is eth0.2 a valid entry?
The parameter of -g is an IP address. It it not the IP address of an interface but of the
gateway to the internet.
So specifying an interface like eth0.2 does not make sense.
You could use something like this:
.... -g `ip route list | grep '^default' | sed -e 's/.*via //' -e 's/
.*//'`
