I set up a vpn with openvpn and need to set some routes through my network. Following I try with route: root@gtw01:/etc# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.101.66.240 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0.0 10.104.125.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 root@gtw01:/etc# route add -host 10.101.66.253 dev eth0.0 root@gtw01:/etc# route add -net 10.8.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.101.66.253 dev eth0.0 root@gtw01:/etc# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.101.66.253 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0.0 10.101.66.240 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0.0 10.104.125.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.8.0.0 10.101.66.253 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 Everything works like a charm. But with ip I get this: root@gtw01:/etc# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.101.66.240 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0.0 10.104.125.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 root@gtw01:/etc# ip route add 10.101.66.253 dev eth0.0 root@gtw01:/etc# ip route add 10.8.0.0 via 10.101.66.253 dev eth0.0 ip: RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable I need ip for maintain my ruleset with fwbuilder.
