How to use Route Command In Linux/Unix
The Route Command tool helps us display and manipulate the routing table in Linux. Information contained by this is about how network packets should be routed through a network.
Syntax:
route
route
This command shows destination, mask, flags, metric, gateway, reference count, and interface. We can also add or delete routes from a network with IP address.
For example: If we have “IP address: 192.168.90.0” and “Subnet mask = 24” and “gateway (gw) = 10.0.0.1”
Syntax:
route add -net 192.168.90.0/24 gw 10.0.0.1
