TCPIP$UCP_HELP.HLB  —  SET  ROUTE  Qualifiers

1    /CONFIRM

       /CONFIRM
       /NOCONFIRM

    Optional. Default: /CONFIRM if you use a wildcard.

    Prompts you to confirm the change.

    If you specify the /NOCONFIRM qualifier, the operation is
    performed without asking you to confirm the request.

2    /DEFAULT_ROUTE

    Optional. Default: 0.0.0.0.

    Defines a second route to use if the first try to route a packet
    fails.

    You must also specify a value for /GATEWAY.

    Not valid with the destination parameter.

3    /GATEWAY

       /GATEWAY=host

    Optional. Default: None.

    Gateway for the route. Necessary to send packets to a host on
    another network.

4    /MASK

       /MASK=mask_length

    Optional. Default: None.

    Defines the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) mask length.
    (The mask length is sometimes referred to as the prefix length.)

    CIDR is a method of associating blocks of Internet addresses
    through the use of a mask. With CIDR, a route is a combination of
    the IP address and a value describing the length of the leftmost
    contiguous set of bits.

5    /NETWORK

    Optional. Defaults:

    o  Destination is classified based on its Internet network class
       (A, B, or C).

    o  If the address is clearly a network number, SET ROUTE
       interprets the number correctly.

    Defines the route as a network route.

    Use this qualifier if the network number could be misinterpreted
    as an IP host address; for example, if a network mask is
    nonstandard, or if the IP address is abbreviated.

    This qualifier is required if you are creating a network route
    that specifies a CIDR mask (for example, /MASK=mask_length).

6    /PERMANENT

    Optional. Defaults:

    If the network is not active, the permanent routes database is
    changed. If the network is active, the volatile routes database
    is changed.

    Changes only the permanent routes database.
