Specify network route thru a remote gateway in the route delete command:

# route delete net 10.10.25.0 10.10.25.93 1

Hi,

There is not a proper way to do anything in UNIX. Each user has their own method and as long as it works it's the correct way for them.
My personal method for managing routes is to manually add or delete the route from the command line with the "route add netmask " or "route delete " command. Once I've completed that and I then manually edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to add or remove the entry so the next time the system reboots routes are correct.

e.g. route add net 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 extgateway 1

vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf to add

ROUTE_GATEWAY[3]=extgateway
ROUTE_COUNT[3]=1
ROUTE_DESTINATION[3]="net 192.168.5.0"
ROUTE_MASK[3]=255.255.255.0

remembering to increate the [n] value.

extgateway is not a valid argument to route(1M). See route(1M) for details.

>route add net 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 extgateway 1

should be...

route add net 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 1

Is that system reboot is required if i add new gateway or change gateway?
