flush [family] | Remove [all] routes. address families -osi, -xns, -atalk, -inet6, or -inet modifiers, only routes
having destinations with addresses in the delineated family will be deleted.
| |
change | Change aspects of a route (such as its gateway). | |
In change or add where the destination and gateway are not sufficient
to specify the route (as in the ISO case where several interfaces
may have the same address), -ifp or -ifa may be used to
determine the interface or interface address.

gateway
is the next-hop intermediary via which packets should be routed.
Routes to a particular host may be distinguished from those to a network by interpreting the Internet address specified as the destination argument.
-net -host | force the destination. If the destination has a local address part of INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0) , or if the destination is the symbolic name of a network, then the route is assumed to be to a network; otherwise, it is presumed to be a route to a host. The destination could also be specified in the CIDR net/bits format.
examples:
A destination
| |||||||||||
| destination is directly reachable via an interface requiring no
intermediary system to act as a gateway. gateway is the address of this host on the common network, indicating the interface to be used for transmission. If the interface is point to point, the name of the interface itself may be given, in which case the route remains valid even if the local or remote addresses change. | |||||||||||
-xns | subsequent addresses are in the XNS, OSI, or AppleTalk address families, or are
specified as link-level addresses. Must be numeric. | |||||||||||
-netmask | manually add subnet routes with netmasks different from that of the implied network interface
(as would otherwise be communicated using the OSPF or ISIS routing protocols). Specify additional address parameter (to be
interpreted as a network mask). In the AF_INET case, the implicit network mask generated can be overridden by making sure this option follows the destination parameter.

-cloning RTF_CLONING - generates a new route on use -xresolve RTF_XRESOLVE - emit mesg on use (for external lookup) -iface ~RTF_GATEWAY - destination is directly reachable -static RTF_STATIC - manually added route -nostatic ~RTF_STATIC - pretend route added by kernel or daemon -reject RTF_REJECT - emit an ICMP unreachable when matched -blackhole RTF_BLACKHOLE - silently discard pkts (during updates) -proto1 RTF_PROTO1 - set protocol specific routing flag #1 -proto2 RTF_PROTO2 - set protocol specific routing flag #2 -llinfo RTF_LLINFO - validly translates proto addr to link addr
-rtt, -rttvar, -sendpipe, -recvpipe, -mtu,
-hopcount, -expire, and -ssthresh
-lock
meta-modifier, or one can specify that all
ensuing metrics may be locked by the -lockrest
meta-modifier.
-proxy
specifies that the RTF_LLINFO routing table
entry is the published (proxy-only) ARP entry, as reported by arp.
All symbolic names specified for a destination or gateway are looked up
first as a host name using gethostbyname.
If this lookup fails, getnetbyname
is then used to interpret the name as that of a network.
Route uses a routing socket and the new message types RTM_ADD, RTM_DELETE, RTM_GET, and RTM_CHANGE.
add [host | network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x
The specified route is being added to the tables. The values output are from the routing table
entry supplied in the ioctl(2) call.
delete [ host | network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x
As above, but when deleting an entry.
%s %s done When the flush command is specified, each routing table entry deleted is indicated with a message of this form.
Network is unreachable
An attempt to add a route failed because the
gateway listed was not on a directly-connected network. The next-hop
gateway must be given.
not in table
A delete operation was attempted for an entry which wasn't present in the tables.
routing table overflow
An add operation was attempted, but the system
was low on resources and was unable to allocate memory to create the new
entry.
gateway uses the same route
A change operation resulted in a route whose
gateway uses the same route as the one being changed. The next-hop gateway should be reachable through a different route.
