route question

[TheDash]

Hello,

Can someone tell how to add route?
All I have the ip address of gateway. Is that sufficient to add route to access internet? If so, please tell the command syntax. Thanks.

 

[Chacalinc]

man route

route add default gw ip_gateway

or use SAM

Hi,

Thanks, but there is a default gateway already .... I have to add two more gateways in order to reach internet. I think the command is different in that case.

 

[TheDash]

any idea?

To add other route:
route add dest_net ip_gateway
To reach the net xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx using the yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy gateway

route add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

You dont need use the term "default", because you already have a default gateway.

May be you need to use the netmask parametrs, so: man route.
