Parameters:

Parameter Description
<route-name> <string> The name of the route. It can be a brief description of the route, e.g., "Default".
<interface-name> <string> The interface with which the route is associated. This is only for specific situations when a target exists on a different network for that interface. In most situations, the interface is determined automatically. To associate the route to a remote device, you must specify a remote interface.
type Route type may either be Network for a range of addresses or Host for a specific IP address.
destination Network or host address of the route. Use 0.0.0.0 (for IPv4) or ::/0 (for IPv6) to denote the default route.
netmask Mask assigned to the route. Only used for network routes.
gateway Gateway address associated with this route or default gateway address.
interface The interface with which the route is associated. This is only for specific situations when a target exists on a different network for that interface. In most situations, the interface is determined automatically. To associate the route to a remote device, you must specify a remote interface.
vce The vce (instead of an interface) with which the route is associated.
