In computing, **route** is a command used to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Unix-like and Microsoft Windows[1] operating systems and also in IBM OS/2 and ReactOS.[2] Manual manipulation of the routing table is characteristic of static routing.
In Linux distributions based on 2.2.x Linux kernels, the [ifconfig](/wiki/Ifconfig "Ifconfig") and route commands are operated together to connect a computer to a network, and to define routes between computer networks. Distributions based on later kernels have deprecated ifconfig and route, replacing them with [iproute2](/wiki/Iproute2 "Iproute2"). Route for Linux was originally written by Fred N. van Kempen.[3]
The command-syntax is:
route [-nNvee] [-FC] [] # List kernel routing tables route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} ... # Modify routing table for AF. route {-h|--help} [] # Detailed usage syntax for specified AF. route {-V|--version} # Display version/author and exit.
user@linux:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.101.0 192.168.102.102 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.102.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.103.0 192.168.102.102 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.12.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.12.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The command is only available if the TCP/IP protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter.
The command-syntax is:
route [-f] [-p] [-4|-6] [Command [Destination] [mask Netmask] [Gateway] [[metric Metric]] [[if Interface]]
- -f: Clears the routing table
- -p: The route is added to the Windows Registry and is used to initialize the IP routing table whenever the TCP/IP protocol is started (only when used with the add command)
- Command: The command to run (add, change, delete, print)
- -4: Force using IPv4
- -6: Force using IPv6
- Destination: Network destination of the route
- mask Netmask: The netmask (subnet mask) associated with the network destination
- Gateway: The forwarding or next hop IP address over which the set of addresses defined by the network destination and subnet mask are reachable
- metric Metric: Integer cost metric (ranging from 1 to 9999) for the route
- if Interface: The index of the interface over which the destination is reachable
- /?: Command help
The -p parameter is only supported on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows XP. It is not supported on Windows 95 or Windows 98.
The command-syntax is:
route [-nqv] [COMMAND] [[MODIFIERS] args]
- -n: Bypasses translating IP addresses to symbolic host names
- -q: Suppresses all output
- -v: Verbose
- COMMAND: The command to run (add, delete, change, get, monitor, flush)
- -net: is a network address
- -host: is host name or address (default)
- -netmask: the mask of the route
- : IP address or host name of the destination
- : IP address or host name of the next-hop router
Print the route table:
Add a route:
route add [mask ] [metric ]
Delete a route:
route delete
