And how to use 2 gateways in the same subnet (with or without failover or/and loadbalance).

i.e.

1. Router:
192.168.1.1

2. Router:
192.168.1.254

Debian-Server:
192.168.1.3

And how to use both gateways now on server?

if it still doesent work as root try this:

/sbin/ifconfig

you can also run this command un-rooted on most systems.

Hello,

You may need to be under root, to do so, type su and you’ll be asked for the password.
Hope it help

Cheers
