5.4.7.12 rip boot
Syntax:
rip boot
Description:
Broadcasts a request for RIP information from other machines.
TCP/IP does this automatically when it starts up. The routing
information must be kept up to date by regular broadcasts from
the other machines.
5.4.7.13 route
Syntax:
route
route add <name> <dest> <relay> [<mask> [<cost> [<timeout>]]]
route delete <name>
route flush
Description:
Lists routes; adds or deletes a static route; or deletes all routes.
<name> is an arbitrary name specified to route add that can be
used to delete the route using route delete.
<dest> is the IP address of the network being routed to (only
those bits of <dest> corresponding to bits set in <mask> are
relevant).
<relay> is the IP address of the next-hop gateway for the route.
<mask> (default ff:ff:ff:00) is the subnet mask of the network
being routed to, specified as four hexadecimal numbers
separated by colons. For example, 0:0:0:0 is a default route
(matches everything without a more specific route), ff:ff:ff:0
would match a Class C network, and ff:ff:ff:ff is a route to a
single host.
