Adding static route in ubuntu

Question

I want to add static route in ubuntu eth1 interface. Eth1 interface is up and runnng. I could add static route using route add command. It is working. But it was not persistent after reboots. So I decided to add entry in /etc/network/interfaces.But I found only entry for loopback interface n this file. Eth1 was not found. If I simply add the command in that file it is not working. Please help me in this.

There are many solutions. Most of the solutions were not working for me.There was one solution which worked. You can install ifupdown-extra in ubuntu. Then go to /etc/network/network-routes. Here we can add our static route. The syntax is explained in network-routes file itself.Route added like this will persist reboots.
