Solaris routing basics

This my first post on Solaris on my LinuxNIX(NIX is nothing but UNIX all flavors).

Creating routes in Solaris:

Basic Sun Solaris  routing

• Add a route to a network
  #route add net network default-gateway

Example
          #route add net 5.23.1.0 1.9..9.1

• Add a default route.
  #route add default  default-gateway

Example
          #route add default 1.9.9.1

• Delete a route
  #route delete net network default-gateway

Example

          #route delete net 5.23.1.0 1.9.9.1

• Look-up and display the route for a destination network:
  # route get destination-network

Example
          #route get 5.23.1.0

• Get routing reports continuously
  # route monitor

• Flushing the route table:
  # route flush

• Seeing routing table in sun box
• #netstat -nr
  

• Use the "route add net" command with the -netmask option to make the route command to take the netmask specified on the command line
  
  # route add net 192.168.68.0 128.50.1.250 1 -netmask 255.255.255.192

Permanently assigning a routes in sun box

/etc/rc2.d/S69inet file can be used for routes to exits permanently

Example entries in S69inet file

/usr/sbin/route add net         1.100.0.0       1.7.16.1     1
/usr/sbin/route add net         17.48.30.0      1.7.0.48     1
/usr/sbin/route add net         17.48.30.0      1.7.48.1     1

save the file and exit so from next time on words no need to execute the route commands every time after reboot
