Unable to delete route

[Ceesjan van Hattum]

Hi,
I'm trying to delete a simple route, but am
unable to do it.... what is it that i do not see.

(hp-ux 11.11)
$> netstat -rnv
172.x.y.z/255.255.255.224 10.126.a.b UG 0 lan0 0

$> route delete 172.x.y.z 10.126.a.b
delete host 172.x.y.z gateway 10.126.a.b: no such route

Strange... i've seen it before, so i also tried
to make some variations:

route delete net 172.x.y.z 10.126.a.b
route delete net 172.x.y.z netmask 255.255.255.224 10.126.a.b

all refuse to do what i want...

Please help me out.
Points will be reward.

Greetings,
Ceesjan

Deleting a Route
A route is deleted using the route command. The following example deletes a network route through
gateway 192.168.2.1.
# route delete net 192.168.4.0 192.168.2.1
delete net 192.168.4.0: gateway 192.168.2.1
#
An entire routing table may be flushed using the route -f command.

Hi Ceesjan,

normally it should go with

route delete net

I just tried and it worked

Hi,

For some reason, the command:
route delete net 172.x.y.z netmask 255.255.255.224 10.126.a.b
worked fine just now.

Still have no clue about what went wrong,
but anyway, thanks for your help.
