I made (this is both valid for 2.2.8 and 3.1) the following routing
change, with a wrong syntax:
[root]% route add -net 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.12
add net 10.10.0.0: gateway 255.255.0.0
... which is in itself a mistake, but even then, running
netstat -rn gives:
0.8&0xc0a8010c 255.255.0.0 UGSc 0 0 ep0
Do undo this, I had to do:
[root]# route get 10.10.0.0
route to: 10.10.0.0
destination: 0.8.0.0
mask: 192.168.1.12
gateway: 255.255.0.0
interface: ep0
flags: <UP,GATEWAY,DONE,STATIC,PRCLONING>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu expire
0 0 0 0 0 0 1500 0
... and do
[root]# route delete 0.8.0.0
delete host 0.8.0.0
This worked.
What's strange is that:
[root]# route add -net 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0
add net 10.10.0.0: gateway 255.255.0.0
... even though also wrong, Gives:
10.10/16 255.255.0.0 UGSc 0 0 ep0
... which is "valid".
What is the reason for the first bogus interpretation ?
Arg parsing in route ?
