ASYNC ROUTER AR-P, AR-5, AND SYNC ROUTER REFERENCE MANUAL

route -f

route delete dest_net

route update iface[/frame_type] [{enable disable}]

Description

Adding and deleting IPX routes is unnecessary in all but the most unusual of circumstances. Normally, the Router software will learn the routes by communicating with other routers and servers on the network, and the software will maintain valid routing tables without user intervention.

Routes that are added by hand using the route command are called “static” routes, while the “RIP” routes are those routes that are learned automatically by the Router.

Routes added using the route add subcommands override any existing RIP routes. In those circumstances the RIP routes become the secondary routes. The system administrator should be sure that the route being added is correct.

Often there is more than one way to get to a destination. When multiple routes to a destination exist, the best route is selected as the “primary” route and all other routes are determined to be the “secondary” routes. Secondary routes are not displayed with the route command. When primary routes are deleted using the route delete command, a secondary route becomes the primary route.

Subcommands and parameters

For modem interfaces only

route add dest_net iface [metric] [ticks]

Adds routes that send packets out of a modem interface.

dest_net—Network address of the destination machine. Enter it as a hexadecimal number with range 1 to FFFFFFFE.

iface—modem0-4, sync0

metric—The number of hops to the destination. Typically this is the number of additional routers the packets must pass through to get to the destination. The maximum value is 16, while the default is 1.

ticks—The amount of time that a packet will take to get to the dest_net. Specify ticks in sixtieths of a second. Default values are Ethernet interface=1, modem interface=5 and synchronous interface=10.

For Ethernet interfaces only

route add dest_net iface[/frame_type] router_addr [metric] [ticks]

Adds routes that send packets out of an Ethernet interface.

dest_net—Network address of the destination machine. Enter it as a hexadecimal number with range 1 to FFFFFFFE.

iface—eth0

/frame_type—Specified as part of the interface, and can be either 802.3, 802.2, SNAP or II (for Ethernet Type 2). Use a slash to separate the iface from the frame_type, for example, eth0/802.2. If left
