46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49utility is used to manually manipulate the network
50routing tables. It normally is not needed, as a
51system routing table management daemon such as
52.Xr routed 8 ,
53should tend to this task.
54.Pp
55The
56.Nm
57utility supports a limited number of general options,
58but a rich command language, enabling the user to specify
59any arbitrary request that could be delivered via the
60programmatic interface discussed in
61.Xr route 4 .
62.Pp
63The following options are available:
64.Bl -tag -width indent
b06a5e2a
MD
65.It Fl c Ar cpu
66On SMP systems the route table is replicated. This option allows the
67route table for a specific cpu to be accessed and exists primarily
68for debugging purposes.
984263bc
MD
69.It Fl n
70Bypass attempts to print host and network names symbolically
71when reporting actions. (The process of translating between symbolic
72names and numerical equivalents can be quite time consuming, and
73may require correct operation of the network; thus it may be expedient
74to forget this, especially when attempting to repair networking operations).
75.It Fl v
76(verbose) Print additional details.
77.It Fl q
78Suppress all output from the
79.Cm add , delete ,
80and
81.Cm flush
82commands.
9ddb32ba
MD
83.It Fl w
84Print the full width of the data being represented even if it would overflow
85the column.
984263bc
MD
86.El
87.Pp
88The
89.Nm
90utility provides six commands:
91.Pp
92.Bl -tag -width Fl -compact
93.It Cm add
94Add a route.
95.It Cm flush
96Remove all routes.
97.It Cm delete
98Delete a specific route.
99.It Cm change
100Change aspects of a route (such as its gateway).
101.It Cm get
102Lookup and display the route for a destination.
147a7be0
MD
103.It Cm show
104Print out the route table similar to "netstat \-r" (see
105.Xr netstat 1 ) .
984263bc
MD
106.It Cm monitor
107Continuously report any changes to the routing information base,
108routing lookup misses, or suspected network partitionings.
109.El
110.Pp
111The monitor command has the syntax:
112.Pp
113.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
114.Nm
115.Op Fl n
116.Cm monitor
117.Ed
118.Pp
119The flush command has the syntax:
120.Pp
121.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
122.Nm
123.Op Fl n
124.Cm flush
125.Op Ar family
126.Ed
127.Pp
128If the
129.Cm flush
130command is specified,
131.Nm
132will ``flush'' the routing tables of all gateway entries.
133When the address family may is specified by any of the
6ec8f7f2 134.Fl inet6
984263bc
MD
135or
136.Fl inet
137modifiers, only routes having destinations with addresses in the
138delineated family will be deleted.
139.Pp
140The other commands have the following syntax:
141.Pp
142.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact
143.Nm
144.Op Fl n
145.Ar command
146.Op Fl net No \&| Fl host
147.Ar destination gateway
148.Op Ar netmask
149.Ed
150.Pp
151where
152.Ar destination
153is the destination host or network,
154.Ar gateway
155is the next-hop intermediary via which packets should be routed.
156Routes to a particular host may be distinguished from those to
157a network by interpreting the Internet address specified as the
158.Ar destination
159argument.
160The optional modifiers
161.Fl net
162and
163.Fl host
164force the destination to be interpreted as a network or a host, respectively.
165Otherwise, if the
166.Ar destination
167has a
168.Dq local address part
169of
170INADDR_ANY
171.Pq Li 0.0.0.0 ,
172or if the
173.Ar destination
174is the symbolic name of a network, then the route is
175assumed to be to a network; otherwise, it is presumed to be a
176route to a host.
177Optionally, the
178.Ar destination
179could also be specified in the
180.Ar net Ns / Ns Ar bits
181format.
182.Pp
183For example,
184.Li 128.32
185is interpreted as
186.Fl host Li 128.0.0.32 ;
187.Li 128.32.130
188is interpreted as
189.Fl host Li 128.32.0.130 ;
190.Fl net Li 128.32
191is interpreted as
192.Li 128.32.0.0;
193.Fl net Li 128.32.130
194is interpreted as
195.Li 128.32.130.0;
196and
197.Li 192.168.64/20
198is interpreted as
199.Fl net Li 192.168.64 Fl netmask Li 255.255.240.0 .
200.Pp
201A
202.Ar destination
203of
204.Ar default
205is a synonym for
206.Fl net Li 0.0.0.0 ,
207which is the default route.
208.Pp
209If the destination is directly reachable
210via an interface requiring
211no intermediary system to act as a gateway, the
212.Fl interface
213modifier should be specified;
214the gateway given is the address of this host on the common network,
215indicating the interface to be used for transmission.
216Alternately, if the interface is point to point the name of the interface
217itself may be given, in which case the route remains valid even
218if the local or remote addresses change.
219.Pp
220The optional modifiers
6ec8f7f2 221.Fl mpls
984263bc
MD
222and
223.Fl link
224specify that all subsequent addresses are in the
6ec8f7f2
SW
225.Tn MPLS
226address family
984263bc
MD
227or are specified as link-level addresses,
228and the names must be numeric specifications rather than
229symbolic names.
230.Pp
231The optional
232.Fl netmask
6ec8f7f2
SW
233modifier is intended to manually add subnet routes with
234netmasks different from that of the implied network interface.
984263bc
MD
235One specifies an additional ensuing address parameter
236(to be interpreted as a network mask).
237The implicit network mask generated in the AF_INET case
238can be overridden by making sure this option follows the destination parameter.
239.Pp
240For
241.Dv AF_INET6 ,
242the
243.Fl prefixlen
244qualifier
245is available instead of the
246.Fl mask
247qualifier because non-continuous masks are not allowed in IPv6.
248For example,
249.Fl prefixlen Li 32
250specifies network mask of
251.Li ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
252to be used.
253The default value of prefixlen is 64 to get along with
254the aggregatable address.
255But 0 is assumed if
256.Cm default
257is specified.
258Note that the qualifier works only for
259.Dv AF_INET6
260address family.
261.Pp
262Routes have associated flags which influence operation of the protocols
263when sending to destinations matched by the routes.
264These flags may be set (or sometimes cleared)
265by indicating the following corresponding modifiers:
266.Bd -literal
267-cloning RTF_CLONING - generates a new route on use
268-xresolve RTF_XRESOLVE - emit mesg on use (for external lookup)
269-iface ~RTF_GATEWAY - destination is directly reachable
270-static RTF_STATIC - manually added route
271-nostatic ~RTF_STATIC - pretend route added by kernel or daemon
272-reject RTF_REJECT - emit an ICMP unreachable when matched
273-blackhole RTF_BLACKHOLE - silently discard pkts (during updates)
274-proto1 RTF_PROTO1 - set protocol specific routing flag #1
275-proto2 RTF_PROTO2 - set protocol specific routing flag #2
276-llinfo RTF_LLINFO - validly translates proto addr to link addr
277.Ed
278.Pp
279The optional modifiers
280.Fl rtt ,
281.Fl rttvar ,
282.Fl sendpipe ,
283.Fl recvpipe ,
284.Fl mtu ,
285.Fl hopcount ,

287.Fl msl ,
288.Fl iw ,
289.Fl iwmax
984263bc
MD
290and
291.Fl ssthresh
292provide initial values to quantities maintained in the routing entry
293by transport level protocols, such as TCP or TP4.
294These may be individually locked by preceding each such modifier to
295be locked by
296the
297.Fl lock
298meta-modifier, or one can
299specify that all ensuing metrics may be locked by the
300.Fl lockrest
301meta-modifier.
302.Pp
303In a
304.Cm change
305or
306.Cm add
307command where the destination and gateway are not sufficient to specify
308the route (as in the
309.Tn ISO
310case where several interfaces may have the
311same address), the
312.Fl ifp
313or
314.Fl ifa
315modifiers may be used to determine the interface or interface address.
316.Pp
317The optional
318.Fl proxy
319modifier specifies that the
320.Dv RTF_LLINFO
321routing table entry is the
322.Dq published (proxy-only)
323.Tn ARP
324entry, as reported by
325.Xr arp 8 .
326.Pp
327All symbolic names specified for a
328.Ar destination
329or
330.Ar gateway
331are looked up first as a host name using
332.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
333If this lookup fails,
334.Xr getnetbyname 3
335is then used to interpret the name as that of a network.

337The optional
338.Fl push ,
339.Fl pop ,
340and
341.Fl swap
342modifiers may be used to specify the desired mpls label
343operations for the route. Each route may have up to 3
344label operations assigned to it. The label operations
345may be combined between them, but specifically the
346.Fl push
347and
348.Fl pop
349operations may be repeated if the intent is to push or pop
350more than one label at once. The
351.Fl swap
352operation always swaps the outer label and may not be
917db758 353repeated.

383.Pp
384Add an mpls route for an
385.Ar incoming-label
386to be forwarded to
387.Ar gateway
388and swap that label with
389.Ar new-label :
390.Pp
391.Bd -ragged -offset indent -compact

402The
403.Nm
404utility uses a routing socket and the new message types
405.Dv RTM_ADD , RTM_DELETE , RTM_GET ,
406and
407.Dv RTM_CHANGE .
408As such, only the super-user may modify

413.Bl -diag
414.It "add [host \&| network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x"
415The specified route is being added to the tables. The
416values printed are from the routing table entry supplied
417in the
418.Xr ioctl 2
419call.
420If the gateway address used was not the primary address of the gateway
421(the first one returned by
422.Xr gethostbyname 3 ) ,
423the gateway address is printed numerically as well as symbolically.
424.It "delete [ host \&| network ] %s: gateway %s flags %x"
425As above, but when deleting an entry.
426.It "%s %s done"
427When the
428.Cm flush
429command is specified, each routing table entry deleted
430is indicated with a message of this form.
431.It "Network is unreachable"
432An attempt to add a route failed because the gateway listed was not
433on a directly-connected network.
434The next-hop gateway must be given.
435.It "not in table"
436A delete operation was attempted for an entry which
437wasn't present in the tables.
438.It "routing table overflow"
439An add operation was attempted, but the system was
440low on resources and was unable to allocate memory
441to create the new entry.
442.It "gateway uses the same route"
443A
444.Cm change
445operation resulted in a route whose gateway uses the
446same route as the one being changed.
447The next-hop gateway should be reachable through a different route.
