ppp rtadd
Automatically add a route configuration to the routing table in case the specified PPP interface link
comes up.
This route configuration will determine which local hosts are allowed to use this link and/or which
remote destinations should be or should not be reachable.
Execute the ppp ifdetach command for this interface prior to configuring routes.
SYNTAX:
ppp rtadd intf = <ifname>
dst = <ip-address>
[dstmsk = <ip-mask(dotted or cidr)>]
[src = <ip-address>]
[srcmsk = <ip-mask(dotted or cidr)>]
[metric = <number{0-100}>]
intf The name of the PPP interface. REQUIRED
dst The destination IP address specification for the route to be added
when the link comes up.
REQUIRED
[dstmsk] The destination IP mask.
Depending on the destination netmask:
 Any remote destination is reachable, i.e. the PPP connection
acts as default route (dstmsk=0)
 Only the remote (sub)net is reachable (dstmsk=1)
The actual destination mask will be the default netmask
applicable for destination IP address
 Only the single remote host is reachable (dstmsk=32)
 Any valid (contiguous) netmask in case of VLSM.
OPTIONAL
[src] The source IP address specification for the route to be added when
the link comes up.
OPTIONAL
[srcmsk] The source IP mask.
Depending on the source netmask:
 Everybody is allowed to use this PPP connection (dstmsk=0)
 Only members of the same subnet as the host which opened
the PPP connection are allowed to use the PPP connection
(dstmsk=1)
The actual destination mask will be the netmask applicable for
the IP address of the host which opened the PPP connection.
 Only the host which opened the PPP connection is allowed to
use the PPP connection. (dstmsk=32)
 Any valid (contiguous) netmask in case of VLSM.
OPTIONAL
[metric] The route metric, i. e. the cost factor of the route.
Practically, the cost is determined by the hop count.
It is recommended not to use this parameter.
