Data Error adding static route
Hi all

i have a simple question here
I'm kind of newbie on solaris development
currently i'm trying to add static route to solaris environment
and i got error, each time i add this static route to it

btw this is my command :

Code:
root@xxxxxx # ping 1.2.3.1
1.2.3.1 is alive

echo  "1.2.3.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/netmasks

root@xxxxxx # route add net 1.2.3.0 1.2.3.1          
add net 1.2.3.0: gateway 1.2.3.1: Network is unreachable

root@xxxxxx # netstat -rn

Routing Table: IPv4
  Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref     Use     Interface

doesnt show anything about 1.2.3.0 segment

what's wrong with the command ?

if this is your default route, use route add default <route_IP> and also include the entry<route_IP> in the /etc/defaultrouter file
if your defaultgateway is already present and you want to add a static route, use this:-
EG
Code:
route add -net 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.17.224

Probably needs the "count" field.

Code:
For example:
route add net 1.2.3.0 1.2.3.1 2
