ROUTE
Route Information
Manipulates Network Routing Tables
ROUTE [-d] [-f] command [destination] [MASK netmask] [gateway] [METRIC metric] [IF interface]
-f Clears the routing tables of all gateway entries. If this is used in
conjunction with one of the commands, the tables are cleared prior to running
the command.
-d Redirects the output to the Output debug port
command One of these:
PRINT Prints a route
ADD Adds a route
DELETE Deletes a route
CHANGE Modifies an existing route
destination Specifies the host.
MASK Specifies that the next parameter is the 'netmask' value.
netmask Specifies a subnet mask value for this route entry. If not
specified, it defaults to 255.255.255.255.
gateway Specifies gateway
interface The interface number for the specified route.
METRIC specifies the metric, ie. cost for the destination.
Diagnostic Notes:
Invalid MASK generates an error, that is when (DEST & MASK) != DEST.
Example
>route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 157.55.80.1 IF 1
The route addition failed: 87
Examples:
>route PRINT
>route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 157.55.80.1 METRIC 3 IF 2
If IF is not given, it tries to find the best interface for a given gateway.
>route DELETE 157.0.0.0
