Route Add

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,
I am trying to add route command in Solaris 10 machine in the following fashion:

route add -host 10.8.112.10 180.144.1.250 -interface lo0:1

this command fails with an error "lo0:1: bad value"

I want to add a route to 10.8.112.10 that picks 180.144.1.250 as the gateway via the interface lo0:1. Could you help and guide me how this can be done?

The output of the "ifconfig -a" command is shown below:

Thanks in advance..

lo0 is your loopback, not a NIC. You can't route out of that.

3

check the baner to find the interface. after that you can use the interface on the command.

You must use -ifp and forget about -interface
