     ROUTE(8)                                                 ROUTE(8)

     NAME
          route, routed, remroutes - IP gateway routing

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/ipc/mgrs/routed [ -v ] [ -t ] [ -q ] [ -hops ] [ addr
          ... ]
          route add dest gateway
          route delete dest
          /etc/remroutes

     DESCRIPTION
          Routed runs the 4BSD RIP routing protocol on an IP network.
          It broadcasts routing information to the network at large,
          listens for routing messages from elsewhere, and informs the
          system of the routes it receives.

          The options are

          -v   Log transmitted messages on the standard output.

          -t   Log received messages on the standard output.

          -q   Accept routing information but do not broadcast any.

          -hops
               Add hops (a decimal number) to the hop count when
               broadcasting routes.

          Information received for any named addrs is ignored.

          Routed is usually run without options on gateway machines,
          and with the -q option on non-gateway machines.

          Route sets up specific routes, to establish static routing
          or to adjust that set up by routed. The add command informs
          the system that internet address dest may be reached through
          internet address gateway; delete removes any routing for
          dest. The special destination `*' represents the default
          routing: route add * gate sets the default, route delete *
          removes any default.

          Remroutes removes all known routes.
