Route Add

[forgynonly]

Hi,

Let's say one of my subnet IP is 10.10.10.0 and the netmask is 255.255.255.252
Gateway 10.10.100.2
NE IP : 10.10.10.1

Is there any different when I add this route by using there 2 command:

route add net 10.10.10.0 10.10.100.2 -netmask 255.255.255.252

route add -net 10.10.10.1 10.10.100.2 -netmask 255.255.255.252

Thanks,
Chin

they are the same.
command a:route add net 10.10.10.0 10.10.100.2 -netmask 255.255.255.252

command b:route add -net 10.10.10.1 10.10.100.2 -netmask 255.255.255.252

if you issue a then b,your os will complain the route already exists and refuse to add b.

if you issue b first,you will see the destination net 10.10.10.1 is converted to 10.10.10.0 cause 10.10.10.1 is calculated to is net addr. by the netmask 255.255.255.252
