Parameters
add or drop
Sub-command to add or drop (remove) a route from the routing table.
default
All transmissions to IP addresses not otherwise defined in routing commands are sent via the
network interface specified by ifname.
hostid
hostid is the IP address of a destination remote host to which data must be sent, or a remote host
which must be removed from the routing table (dropped).
netid
netid is the IP address of a destination network to which data must be sent. Any host with this IP
network address is able to receive the data. Whether a particular host will use the data depends on
the host portion of the specific IP address in the IP header.
mask
mask specifies the number of bits in the network portion of the address if sub-netting is used. If
not used, the network portion of the address is determined according to the class (A, B or C) of
the address.
ifname
ifname defines the name used in the interface command for the immediate network on which the
data for the designated host must be sent. This is the network level interface to be used by the
local host to reach the remote host.
gateid
gateid parameter specifies the IP address of a host, on the same physical network as the local host,
which is used as a gateway or router to a different network. The gateway or router host specified
in gateid must be directly reachable on the same physical network as the local host defining this
gateway. In other words, this must be the nearest gateway to this local host.
metric
When using RIP or Proxy ARP a value from 0 to 16 for metric must be specified indicating the
distance or cost of that route. A metric of 16 indicates that the route is down.
proxy, private and static
To support the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) the route command utilizes the proxy, private
and static key words. These words can be used in any order following metric.
