Introduction<\/h2>\n

Routing is a difficult technique in the networking world. In order to make your computers communicate with other devices on the network, you have to define the route for them.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the route command, the network administrators or Linux users can do this work in an easier way.<\/p>\n

Route command can be used to show and modify the network routing table in a Linux system.<\/p>\n

Below is the guide on how to use the route command in Linux.<\/p>\n

Routing table<\/h2>\n

To show the current routing table, let\u2019s run the following command<\/p>\n

$ route -n<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another way to describe more detail about which network interface of routes is running the command:<\/p>\n
$ ip route show<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Add a new route<\/h2>\n
If your computer has more than one network interface and you want to add a new route, the computer will send traffic through that new gateway. You can use the route add command as below:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route add -net <NETWORK-ADDRESS> gw <GATEWAY> <NETWORK-INTERFACE><\/pre>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route add -net 192.168.1.0\/24 gw 192.168.1.1 eth2<\/pre>\n
To add a new route to a host, run the following command:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route add -host <HOST-IP> gw <GATEWAY><\/pre>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route add -host 172.19.11.75 gw 172.19.11.1<\/pre>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the Flags column, there are some values that are difficult to understand. The following section is a quick explanation:<\/p>\n
U: up<\/p>\n
H: host<\/p>\n
G: gateway<\/p>\n
!: rejected route<\/p>\n
Delete a route<\/h2>\n
If you no longer use a specific route and you want to delete it, you can simply run the following command:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route del -net <NETWORK-ADDRESS> gw <GATEWAY> <NETWORK-INTERFACE><\/pre>\n
For example:<\/p>\n
$ sudo route del -net 192.168.1.0\/24 gw 192.168.1.1 eth2<\/pre>\n
To reject a route but you want to keep it on the routing table, run the command with the reject option.<\/p>\n
$ sudo route add -host 172.19.11.75 reject<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
You have just read a tutorial about how to use the route command in a Linux system with examples.<\/p>\n
