2. route

Lesson Content

We’ve already discussed viewing our routing tables with the route command, if you wanted to add or remove routes you can do so manually.

Add a new route

$ sudo route add -net 192.168.2.1/23 gw 10.11.12.3

Delete a route

$ sudo route del -net 192.168.2.1/23 

You can also perform these changes with the ip command:

To add a route

$ ip route add 192.168.2.1/23 via 10.11.12.3

To delete a route

$ ip route delete 192.168.2.1/23 via 10.11.12.3
or
$ ip route delete 192.168.2.1/23
