The route's destination is in the first column. This column may contain the IP address
of a network or host or, in the case of reachable name servers, the fully qualified network
or hostname.
The second column contains the default gateway or a gateway through which a host or
network can be accessed. The third column contains the netmask for networks or hosts
behind a gateway. For example, the mask is 255.255.255.255 for a host behind a
gateway.
The fourth column is only relevant for networks connected to the local host such as
loopback, Ethernet, ISDN, PPP, and dummy device. The device name must be entered
here.
An (optional) fifth column can be used to specify the type of a route. Columns that are
not needed should contain a minus sign - to ensure that the parser correctly interprets
the command. For details, refer to the routes(5) man page.
/etc/resolv.conf
The domain to which the host belongs is specified in this file (keyword search). Also
listed is the status of the name server address to access (keyword nameserver).
Multiple domain names can be specified. When resolving a name that is not fully
qualified, an attempt is made to generate one by attaching the individual search entries.
Use multiple name servers by entering several lines, each beginning with nameserver.
Precede comments with # signs. YaST enters the specified name server in this file.
Example 30.5, "/etc/resolv.conf"
could look like.
