11.5.2. Network/Netmask Directives Format
You can also use the network/netmask directives format for
route-interface files. The following is a template for the network/netmask format, with instructions following afterwards:
ADDRESS0=10.10.10.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1
ADDRESS0=10.10.10.0is the network address of the remote network or host to be reached.NETMASK0=255.255.255.0is the netmask for the network address defined withADDRESS0=10.10.10.0.GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1is the default gateway, or anIPaddress that can be used to reachADDRESS0=10.10.10.0
The following is an example of a
route-interface file using the network/netmask directives format. The default gateway is 192.168.0.1 but a leased line or WAN connection is available at 192.168.0.10. The two static routes are for reaching the 10.10.10.0/24 and 172.16.1.0/24 networks:
ADDRESS0=10.10.10.0 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY0=192.168.0.10 ADDRESS1=172.16.1.10 NETMASK1=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY1=192.168.0.10
Subsequent static routes must be numbered sequentially, and must not skip any values. For example,
ADDRESS0, ADDRESS1, ADDRESS2, and so on.
