route add help

[nitinkgoud]

Hi Guys,
This is a weird one, i was sent this command by another team

"For example a server with a BDT address of 10.244.101.11 would have a route add 10.244.64.0 255.255.192.0 10.244.101.1"

Now can you please translate this for me in solaris?

Do you want to know how to enter it in Solaris or what it means?

Basically it is everything on the 10.244.64.0 network and it specifies the netmask with 255.255.192.0 use router address 10.244.101.1. On Solaris you can probably just do this:

echo  "10.244.64.0 255.255.192.0" >> /etc/netmasks
route add net 10.244.64.0 10.244.101.1

 

[nitinkgoud]

#route add net 10.244.64.0 10.244.101.1
add net 10.244.64.0: gateway 10.244.101.1: Network is unreachable

I think that the network might be unreachable.

What do you think?

Can you ping 10.244.101.1 before you entered that command in?

No.Actually i got the command from my senoir after lot of proding.

#route add -net 10.244.64.0 10.244.xxx.1 255.255.192.0 1

xxx takes relative values

Now take a look bellow at the op of nersta -rn before and after this command.
