Actually (and I think it is provided for backwards compatibility, thus undocumented) the format is: route [-n] command [-net | -host] destination gateway [netmask] ^^^^^^^ So, the route -n add -net 10.150.200.0 255.255.252.0 10.125.200.199 is equivalent to the route -n add -net 10.150.200.0 -netmask 10.125.200.199 255.255.252.0 You will get the same `weird' route in the second case. To delete this route, simply execute: route delete 10.20.200.0 -netmask 10.125.200.199 To add the correct route, either: route add -net 10.150.200.0 -netmask 255.255.252.0 10.125.200.199 or route add -net 10.150.200.0 10.125.200.199 255.255.252.0 or route add 10.150.200.0/22 10.125.200.199 Cheers, -- Ruslan Ermilov Oracle Developer/DBA, ru@sunbay.com Sunbay Software AG, ru@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer, +380.652.512.251 Simferopol, Ukraine http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve http://www.oracle.com Enabling The Information Age State Changed From-To: open->closed Pilot error, explained. |
