Show routing table

route -n

On newer OS’s if route is not installed by default, you may use ip.

ip route list

<br>

Add a static route

Setting static routes may be necessary when you have two or more networks that your computer needs to send traffic to. Most devices only connect to one network and all network traffic is routed to the default gateway, which is a router that chooses where to forward traffic to next. When you add more static routes, it adds more gateways. This will tell the system to send data you know is destined for a specific network to a chosen router instead of the default.

Replace NETWORK with the target network IP. Replace NETMASK and GATEWAY with the respective network mask and gateway IP address.

sudo route add -net NETWORK netmask NETMASK gw GATEWAY

Example: sudo route add -net 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 192.168.5.1

On newer OS’s if route is not installed by default, you may use ip. Replace CIDR with the CIDR notation for the netmask and INTERFACE with the name of the network interface.

sudo ip route add NETWORK/CIDR dev INTERFACE

Example: sudo ip route add 192.168.5.0/16 dev eth0
