Dynamically you would use the "route add" command (man route). To make it permanent you would put an entry into /etc/rc.configd./netconf.

To add route you can use route add command.
e.g.
route add 10.221.40.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.221.53.250
man route for more understanding.
This will be dynamic and not valid across reboots. So add entry for the route to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="10.221.40.0"
ROUTE_MASK[1]="255.255.255.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="10.221.53.250"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="1

The number in the [] should be the next unused from the netconf file for ROUTE_DESTINATION.

Hi Siva,

route add & route delete are the one that you can use in dynamic.

to check you routing table
netstat -nr

dynamic routes are not stored in any file, this is a property of IP (Check RFC sites for more information) either you can add or delete thats it.

see the link, hope that will help

Note: dynamic routing is not automatic. The route command just establishes a new route until you change it. You can change routes several times but when you reboot, the route goes back to the settings in your /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

Do you mean dynamic routing? Or just adding the static routes using CLI.?

route command enables you do add static routes. If you want to setup dynamic routing you have to look for tools that provide BGP, RIP etc.
