Usage

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

\

With route(8) 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.md). If you have a OpenBSD shell access you can try to show the current routing parameters of the machine.

Examples

$ 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\
