HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

route(1M) route(1M)

The speciﬁed route is being deleted from the tables.

Flags

The values of the count and destination type ﬁelds in the

route command determine the presence of the G

and H ﬂags in the netstat -r display and thus the route type, as shown in the following table.

Count Destination Type Flags Route Type

Route to a network directly from the local host=0 network

Route to a network through a remote host gateway>0 network

Route to a remote host directly from the local host=0 host

Route to a remote host through a remote host gateway>0 host

UGH

Wildcard route directly from the local host=0 default

Wildcard route through a remote host gateway>0 default

DIAGNOSTICS

The following error diagnostics can be displayed:

add a route that already exists

The speciﬁed entry is already in the routing table.

delete a route that does not exist

The speciﬁed route was not in the routing table.

cannot update loopback route

Routes for any 127.*.*.* loopback destination cannot be added or deleted.

WARNINGS

Reciprocal route commands must be executed on the local host, the destination host, and all intermediate

hosts if routing is to succeed in the cases of virtual circuit connections or bidirectional datagram transfers.

The HP-UX implementation of

route does not presently support a change subcommand.
