Internet Protocol (IP) Routing

route Command Examples

Both of the following examples add a hardwired route for the destination address 131.108.3.0 using

a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This subnet mask indicates that the ﬁrst two octets are the network

address, the third octet (which normally is part of the host portion of this Class B address) is the

subnet, and the fourth octet is the host (for more information on subnets, see Subnetting Using Subnet

Masks on page A12-13). The next hop is 131.254.33.2 and the metric (hop count) for the route is 2.

The examples are:

annex# route add –h 131.108.3.0 255.255.255.0 131.254.33.2 2

annex# route add –h 131.108.3.0/24 131.254.33.2 2

Both of the preceding examples conﬁgure the Model 5390 server to use the gateway at 131.254.33.2

as the next hop for any host destination whose address is within the range 131.108.3.1 through

131.108.3.254.

Table A12-8. Arguments for route Command (continued)

Speciﬁes the IP address of the gateway (router) that is the

next hop for the route.

Speciﬁes the number of hops to the destination. Values range

from 1 through 15; the default is 1.
