.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to manually manipulate the network
|
|
routing tables.
|
|
It normally is not needed, as a
|
|
system routing table management daemon, such as
|
|
.Xr routed 8 ,
|
|
should tend to this task.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility supports a limited number of general options,
|
|
but a rich command language, enabling the user to specify
|
|
any arbitrary request that could be delivered via the
|
|
programmatic interface discussed in
|
|
.Xr route 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Run in debug-only mode, i.e., do not actually modify the routing table.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Bypass attempts to print host and network names symbolically
|
|
when reporting actions.
|
|
(The process of translating between symbolic
|
|
names and numerical equivalents can be quite time consuming, and
|
|
may require correct operation of the network; thus it may be expedient
|
|
to forget this, especially when attempting to repair networking operations).
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
(verbose) Print additional details.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Suppress all output from the
|
|
.Cm add , delete ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility provides six commands:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl -compact
|
|
.It Cm add
|
|
Add a route.
|
|
.It Cm flush
|
|
Remove all routes.
|
|
.It Cm delete
|
|
Delete a specific route.
|
|
.It Cm change
|
|
Change aspects of a route (such as its gateway).
|
|
.It Cm get
|
|
Lookup and display the route for a destination.
|
|
.It Cm monitor
|
|
Continuously report any changes to the routing information base,
|
|
routing lookup misses, or suspected network partitionings.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The monitor command has the syntax:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl n
|
|
.Cm monitor
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flush command has the syntax:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl n
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
.Op Ar family
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
command is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will ``flush'' the routing tables of all gateway entries.
|
|
When the address family may is specified by any of the
|
|
.Fl osi ,
|
|
.Fl xns ,
|
|
.Fl atalk ,
|
|
.Fl inet6 ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl inet
|
|
modifiers, only routes having destinations with addresses in the
|
|
delineated family will be deleted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The other commands have the following syntax:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl n
|
|
.Ar command
|
|
.Op Fl net No \&| Fl host
|
|
.Ar destination gateway
|
|
.Op Ar netmask
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
is the destination host or network,
|
|
.Ar gateway
|
|
is the next-hop intermediary via which packets should be routed.
|
|
Routes to a particular host may be distinguished from those to
|
|
a network by interpreting the Internet address specified as the
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
argument.
|
|
The optional modifiers
|
|
.Fl net
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl host
|
|
force the destination to be interpreted as a network or a host, respectively.
|
|
Otherwise, if the
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
has a
|
|
.Dq local address part
|
|
of
|
|
INADDR_ANY
|
|
.Pq Li 0.0.0.0 ,
|
|
or if the
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
is the symbolic name of a network, then the route is
|
|
assumed to be to a network; otherwise, it is presumed to be a
|
|
route to a host.
|
|
Optionally, the
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
could also be specified in the
|
|
.Ar net Ns / Ns Ar bits
|
|
format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Li 128.32
|
|
is interpreted as
|
|
.Fl host Li 128.0.0.32 ;
|
|
.Li 128.32.130
|
|
is interpreted as
|
|
.Fl host Li 128.32.0.130 ;
|
|
.Fl net Li 128.32
|
|
is interpreted as
|
|
.Li 128.32.0.0;
|
|
.Fl net Li 128.32.130
|
|
is interpreted as
|
|
.Li 128.32.130.0;
|
|
and
|
|
.Li 192.168.64/20
|
|
is interpreted as
|
|
.Fl net Li 192.168.64 Fl netmask Li 255.255.240.0 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
of
|
|
.Ar default
|
|
is a synonym for
|
|
.Fl net Li 0.0.0.0 ,
|
|
which is the default route.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the destination is directly reachable
|
|
via an interface requiring
|
|
no intermediary system to act as a gateway, the
|
|
.Fl interface
|
|
modifier should be specified;
|
|
the gateway given is the address of this host on the common network,
|
|
indicating the interface to be used for transmission.
|
|
Alternately, if the interface is point to point the name of the interface
|
|
itself may be given, in which case the route remains valid even
|
|
if the local or remote addresses change.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional modifiers
|
|
.Fl xns ,
|
|
.Fl osi ,
|
|
.Fl atalk ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl link
|
|
specify that all subsequent addresses are in the
|
|
.Tn XNS ,
|
|
.Tn OSI ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Tn AppleTalk
|
|
address families,
|
|
or are specified as link-level addresses,
|
|
and the names must be numeric specifications rather than
|
|
symbolic names.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Fl netmask
|
|
modifier is intended
|
|
to achieve the effect of an
|
|
.Tn OSI
|
|
.Tn ESIS
|
|
redirect with the netmask option,
|
|
or to manually add subnet routes with
|
|
netmasks different from that of the implied network interface
|
|
(as would otherwise be communicated using the OSPF or ISIS routing protocols).
|
|
One specifies an additional ensuing address parameter
|
|
(to be interpreted as a network mask).
|
|
The implicit network mask generated in the AF_INET case
|
|
can be overridden by making sure this option follows the destination parameter.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6 ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl prefixlen
|
|
qualifier
|
|
is available instead of the
|
|
.Fl mask
|
|
qualifier because non-continuous masks are not allowed in IPv6.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Fl prefixlen Li 32
|
|
specifies network mask of
|
|
.Li ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
|
|
to be used.
|
|
The default value of prefixlen is 64 to get along with
|
|
the aggregatable address.
|
|
But 0 is assumed if
|
|
.Cm default
|
|
is specified.
|
|
Note that the qualifier works only for
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
address family.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Routes have associated flags which influence operation of the protocols
|
|
when sending to destinations matched by the routes.
|
|
These flags may be set (or sometimes cleared)
|
|
by indicating the following corresponding modifiers:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
-cloning RTF_CLONING - generates a new route on use
|
|
-xresolve RTF_XRESOLVE - emit mesg on use (for external lookup)
|
|
-iface ~RTF_GATEWAY - destination is directly reachable
|
|
-static RTF_STATIC - manually added route
|
|
-nostatic ~RTF_STATIC - pretend route added by kernel or daemon
|
|
-reject RTF_REJECT - emit an ICMP unreachable when matched
|
|
-blackhole RTF_BLACKHOLE - silently discard pkts (during updates)
|
|
-proto1 RTF_PROTO1 - set protocol specific routing flag #1
|
|
-proto2 RTF_PROTO2 - set protocol specific routing flag #2
|
|
-llinfo RTF_LLINFO - validly translates proto addr to link addr
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional modifiers
|
|
.Fl rtt ,
|
|
.Fl rttvar ,
|
|
.Fl sendpipe ,
|
|
.Fl recvpipe ,
|
|
.Fl mtu ,
|
|
.Fl hopcount ,
|
|
.Fl expire ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl ssthresh
|
|
provide initial values to quantities maintained in the routing entry
|
|
by transport level protocols, such as TCP or TP4.
|
|
These may be individually locked by preceding each such modifier to
|
|
be locked by
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl lock
|
|
meta-modifier, or one can
|
|
specify that all ensuing metrics may be locked by the
|
|
.Fl lockrest
|
|
meta-modifier.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In a
|
|
.Cm change
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm add
|
|
command where the destination and gateway are not sufficient to specify
|
|
the route (as in the
|
|
.Tn ISO
|
|
case where several interfaces may have the
|
|
same address), the
|
|
.Fl ifp
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ifa
|
|
modifiers may be used to determine the interface or interface address.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Fl proxy
|
|
modifier specifies that the
|
|
.Dv RTF_LLINFO
|
|
routing table entry is the
|
|
.Dq published (proxy-only)
|
|
.Tn ARP
|
|
entry, as reported by
|
|
.Xr arp 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The optional
|
|
.Fl genmask
|
|
modifier specifies that a cloning mask is present.
|
|
This specifies the mask applied when determining if a child route
|
|
should be created.
|
|
It is only applicable to network routes with the
|
|
.Dv RTF_CLONING
|
|
flag set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All symbolic names specified for a
|
|
.Ar destination
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar gateway
|
|
are looked up first as a host name using
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
|
|
If this lookup fails,
|
|
.Xr getnetbyname 3
|
|
is then used to interpret the name as that of a network.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility uses a routing socket and the new message types
|
|
.Dv RTM_ADD , RTM_DELETE , RTM_GET ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv RTM_CHANGE .
|
|
As such, only the super-user may modify
|
|
the routing tables.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "add [host \&| network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x"
|
|
The specified route is being added to the tables.
|
|
The
|
|
values printed are from the routing table entry supplied
|
|
in the
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
call.
|
|
If the gateway address used was not the primary address of the gateway
|
|
(the first one returned by
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 ) ,
|
|
the gateway address is printed numerically as well as symbolically.
|
|
.It "delete [ host \&| network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x"
|
|
As above, but when deleting an entry.
|
|
.It "%s %s done"
|
|
When the
|
|
.Cm flush
|
|
command is specified, each routing table entry deleted
|
|
is indicated with a message of this form.
|
|
.It "Network is unreachable"
|
|
An attempt to add a route failed because the gateway listed was not
|
|
on a directly-connected network.
|
|
The next-hop gateway must be given.
|
|
.It "not in table"
|
|
A delete operation was attempted for an entry which
|
|
wasn't present in the tables.
|
|
.It "routing table overflow"
|
|
An add operation was attempted, but the system was
|
|
low on resources and was unable to allocate memory
|
|
to create the new entry.
|
|
.It "gateway uses the same route"
|
|
A
|
|
.Cm change
|
|
operation resulted in a route whose gateway uses the
|
|
same route as the one being changed.
|
|
The next-hop gateway should be reachable through a different route.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The first paragraph may have slightly exaggerated
|
|
.Xr routed 8 Ns 's
|
|
abilities.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently, routes with the
|
|
.Va RTF_BLACKHOLE
|
|
flag set need to have the gateway set to an instance of the
|
|
.Xr lo 4
|
|
driver, using the
|
|
.Fl iface
|
|
option, for the flag to have any effect; unless IP fast forwarding
|
|
is enabled, in which case the meaning of the flag will always
|
|
be honored.
