routes

routes(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							 routes(4)

NAME

       routes - Specifies Internet routing information to the routing tables

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/routes

DESCRIPTION

       Static  routes  can  be defined in the /etc/routes file.  The /etc/routes file identifies static routes that are automatically added to the
       network routing tables with the /usr/sbin/route add command.  The /sbin/init.d/route script contains the /usr/sbin/route add  command  that
       is executed for each entry in the /etc/routes file when the network is restarted on the system or the system is rebooted.

       The general format of an entry in the /etc/routes file is: Dest Name1 Name2

       The  following is a brief description of each element in an /etc/routes file entry: A keyword that indicates whether the route is to a net-
       work or to a host. The two possible keywords are -net and -host.  The name or address of the destination network or  host.   Name1  can	be
       either  a  symbolic  name (as used in the /etc/hosts or /etc/networks file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.  The
       name or address of the gateway host to which messages should be forwarded.  Name2 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the	/etc/hosts
       file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format.

       The  routes file is a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL) and must be maintained as such.  See the System Administration manual for more
       information.

EXAMPLES

       To specify a route to a network through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

       -net net2 host4

	      This example specifies a route to a network, net2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a host through a  gateway  host
	      with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      -host host2 host4

	      This  example  specifies	a route to a host, host2, through the gateway host4.  To specify a route to a default gateway host with an
	      entry in the /etc/routes file, enter:

	      default 130.9.0.5

	      This example specifies a route to a default gateway with an Internet address of 130.9.0.5.

FILES

       Contains the /usr/sbin/routed add command.
