ADD ROUTE Command

The ADD ROUTE command creates a route.

Command Syntax

OUT file-spec

causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified

file.

ROUTE route-spec

specifies the path on which data is sent in order to reach a destination. The fully-

qualified route-spec has the form:

If you specify the SCF object type (ROUTE) or any portion of the object name

(route-spec) in prior ASSUME command, you can omit it in this command. For

information about the ASSUME command, see the SCF Reference Manual for G-

Series RVUs or the SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs.

DESTINATION destination-ip-address

specifies the Internet address of a single host or an entire network which can be

reached through the system specified in GATEWAY. A zero in the local address

portion of the destination Internet address acts as a wildcard, representing all hosts

on the network specified in the network portion of the Internet address. If the

destination Internet address is 0 (0.0.0.0), this route specifies the default router or

gateway. All packets with addresses for which routes cannot be determined are

sent to the host specified in GATEWAY.

This parameter is required.

the SUBNET's IPADDRESS attribute) converted to broadcast form.
