According to the RHEL documentation the default gateway configuration is done through the /etc/sysconfig/network file.

Configuring the Default Gateway

The default gateway is determined by the network scripts which parse the /etc/sysconfig/network file first and then the network interface ifcfg files for interfaces that are “up”.

/etc/sysconfig/network:

GATEWAY=<value>, where <value> is the IP address of the network's gateway.
