adding a route

[Chris M. Siegel]

I have a device which is not on my subnet and I would like to temporarily access it from my workstation. My workstation ip is 192.168.1.18 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and the IP address that I wish to access is 10.9.103.10 with a subnet mask od 255.255.0.0.

What would be the syntax for the route add command. You assistance would be appreciated.

Chris,

You need to know some router through which you can reach this device. Then you need to use that router in the route add statement.

route add 10.9.103.10 some_router 1

Hi,

route add net netmask gateway ip adress followed by 1

route add 10.9.103.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway or (router Address) 1

Good Luck

if your temporary access needs to persist past a reboot of your workstation, you will likely want to put the releavant route infoormation into the /etc/rc.config/d/netconf file

Hi,

you can add a route until the next reboot with 'route' command:

route add 10.9.103.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 1

(man route, man routing)

or, to make it past the reboot, put the route in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
