How to delete a static network route

[heb]

using HP_UX 11i
static route was set up wrongly, the wrong netmask was entered.
netstat -rvn displays
10.3.0.0/255.255.255.0 2.5.9.252 UG 0 lan0 0
when using the command
route delete net 10.3.0.0 2.5.9.252 1
the error
delete net 10.3.0.0: gateway 2.5.9.252: no such route is displayed.
How can I delete this route and only this route and set it correctly?

Sorry but it doesn't like the word "gateway".

Hi,
try:

route delete net 10.3.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 2.5.9.252

Excellent.

That worked perfectly.

Thanks for your help

Entering the netmask allowed the route command to work successfully
