Route Add command--Help 1

[butchrecon]

How do you set up a route between 2 subnets.
Subnet A---192.168.1.x
Router A---192.168.1.220

Subnet B---192.168.2.x
Router B---192.168.2.220

I want to set up a route from Subnet B to Subnet A on a SCO 5.+

I have been told to use the route add command but I am unfamiliar with it in SCO. James Collins

in general
/etc/route command destination gateway [ metric ]

on subnet a

route add network 192.168.2.0 192.168.1.220

on subnet b

route add network 192.168.1.0 192.168.2.220

this assumes that router a and b are either the same machine with ipforwarding turned on or they know how to get to each other in their own routing tables.

Thanks stan that was what I was looking for. I used the command a LONG time ago and could not remember it. I appreciate the help. James Collins
