NAME
network-route-static - Manage Static Routing
SYNOPSIS
network route static COMMAND ... network route static add NETWORK [--gateway=GATEWAY,--unreachable,--prohibit,--blackhole] [--mtu=MTU] network route static remove NETWORK network route static list [--protocol=ipv6|ipv4]`
DESCRIPTION
This command helps to manage routes.
COMMANDS
The following commands are understood:
- add NETWORK …
-
A new route may be added by the add command. It is required to pass a valid network prefix NETWORK, which can be either IPv6 or IPv4.
For unicast routes, the --gateway=GATEWAY option must be passed, where GATEWAY is a valid IP address of the same protocol type as the network prefix is.
Use --unreachable, --prohibit, --blackhole can be used to create of that type. See ROUTE TYPES below for more information about these options.
The optional --mtu=MTU parameter defines the MTU along the path to the destination and must be an integer number. This will show you very detailed information about the given device. - remove NETWORK
-
A route can be removed with this command.
NETWORK is the network prefix of an existing route. - list
-
Shows a list of all configured routes.
Output can be filtered by passing --protocol=[ipv6|ipv4].
ROUTE TYPES
|
unicast
|
A unicast route is the most common route in routing tables. It is a route to a destination network address, which describes the path to the destination. Use the --gateway=GATEWAY option to create such a route. |
|
unreachable
|
When a route is determined and the routing decision process returns a destination with an unreachable route type, an ICMP unreachable message is generated and returned to the source address. |
|
prohibit
|
This works like an unreachable route, but the returned ICMP message is an ICMP prohibited message. |
|
blackhole
|
Packets matching this kind of route are silently discarded. There will be no ICMP message sent to the source and no packet be forwarded. |
