Route (command)

In computing, codice_1 is a command used to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Unix-like and Microsoft Windows operating systems and also in IBM OS/2 and ReactOS. Manual manipulation of the routing table is characteristic of static routing.
Implementations.
Unix and Unix-like.
In Linux distributions based on 2.2.x Linux kernels, the codice_2 and codice_1 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 codice_2 and codice_1, replacing them with codice_6.
Route for Linux was originally written by Fred N. van Kempen.
Syntax.
The command-syntax is:
 route [-nNvee] [-FC] [<AF>] List kernel routing tables
 route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} ... Modify routing table for AF.
 route {-h|--help} [<AF>] Detailed usage syntax for specified AF.
 route {-V|--version} Display version/author and exit.
Example.
user@linux:~$ route -n

Microsoft Windows.
The command is only available if the TCP/IP protocol is installed as a component in the properties of a network adapter.
Syntax.
The command-syntax is:
 route [-f] [-p] [-4|-6] [Command [Destination] [mask Netmask] [Gateway] metric Metric if Interface
Parameters.
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.
IBM OS/2.
Syntax.
The command-syntax is:
 route [-nqv] [COMMAND] [[MODIFIERS] args]
ReactOS.
Syntax.
Print the route table:
 route print
Add a route:
 route add <target> [mask <mask>] <gw> [metric <m>]
Delete a route:
 route delete <target> <gw>
