(:redirect route/usage:)

**Route is a tool for viewing and manipulating the kernel's IP routing table**

\\

With route you can configure your network routing to other hosts and gateways. You may have a bunch of virtual machines with a certain routing scheme, or physical computers with many NICs (Network Interface Card, or just network adapter). If you have a OpenBSD shell access you can try to show the current routing parameters of the machine.\\

\\

Some example usages:\\

_route -n show_ // Show routing table without resolving DNS names\\

_route show_ // Show routing table and solve DNS names\\

\\

To add a route to the network 192.168.5.0/24 use:\\

_route add -inet 192.168.5.0/24 192.168.0.1_\\

where the latter address is the gateway\\

\\

To change the default gateway:\\

edit the file _/etc/mygate_ directly\\
