Shalom,

netstat -rn
# see your current routes.
You may need to delete your current default route:

route delete default

route add default

The man page for route is actually quite helpful.

the output is as follow i will like to assign ip addr to lan1 here as 151.2.125.3 and wants default route to be set for that.

If you want to made the settings permanently you must modify/add the rows in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and then restart the network with:

/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

I have one more question if i need to delete all the arp entries than what i sthe command for that.

[Josiah Henline]

arp entries can be deleted with the -d option. Perminate arp entries which can be manually deleted with the -D option.

Man arp:

-d If an ARP entry exists for the host called hostname, delete it. This option cannot be used to delete a permanent ARP entry whose IP address is an interface on the local system.

-D (Not recommended). Delete a permanent ARP entry whose IP address is an interface on the local system. The removal of such an ARP entry may result in loss or limitation of network connectivity with remote machines. The local system will no longer respond to ARP requests for this IP address. Consequently, communication with remote systems is possible only when that communication is initiated by the local system. This option should be used with extreme caution.
