SET ROUTE
Not valid with /DEFAULT_ROUTE.
Qualifiers
/CONFIRM
/NOCONFIRM
Optional. Default: /CONFIRM if you use a wildcard.
Prompts you to confirm the change.
If you specify the /NOCONFIRM qualifier, the operation is performed without
asking you to confirm the request.
/DEFAULT_ROUTE
Optional. Default: 0.0.0.0.
Defines a second route to use if the first try to route a packet fails.
You must also specify a value for /GATEWAY.
Not valid with the destination parameter.
/GATEWAY=host
Optional. Default: None.
Gateway for the route. Necessary to send packets to a host on another network.
/MASK=mask_length
Optional. Default: None.
Defines the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) mask length. (The mask
length is sometimes referred to as the prefix length.)
CIDR is a method of associating blocks of Internet addresses through the use
of a mask. With CIDR, a route is a combination of the IP address and a value
describing the length of the leftmost contiguous set of bits.
/NETWORK
Optional. Defaults:
• Destination is classified based on its Internet network class (A, B, or C).
• If the address is clearly a network number, SET ROUTE interprets the
number correctly.
Defines the route as a network route.
Use this qualifier if the network number could be misinterpreted as an IP host
address; for example, if a network mask is nonstandard, or if the IP address is
abbreviated.
This qualifier is required if you are creating a network route that specifies a
CIDR mask (for example, /MASK=mask_length).
/PERMANENT
Optional. Defaults:
If the network is not active, the permanent routes database is changed. If the
network is active, the volatile routes database is changed.
Changes only the permanent routes database.
