I don't know about RH7.x, but for RH6.2 you would use the line:

any net 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10

If it's different on 7.x, you can deduce the format from the network
startup script (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network).

Note that specifying both "gw" and "dev" is redundant. If you specify
a gateway, the device is automatically determined from the gateway
address.

Re: making routes permanent

i tried putting 
any net 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10
in my /etc/sysconfig/static-routes but still it didnt
show up as a permanent route.i looked at the
/etc/rc.d/inet.d/network script and as far as i could
interpret(am a relative newbie),this was supposed to
be the format for my RH 7.2.
can anyone using rh7.2  confirm that "any net 10.0.3.0
255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10" is what needs to be put in
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes to make this entry
permanent?

Did you restart the networking? That file is only read when networking
is started or a new interface is enabled.

Note: the easiest way to restart the networking is a reboot; the next
easiest is switching to single-user mode ("telinit 1") then switching
back to multi-user mode ("telinit 3", or "telinit 5" if you also want
X).

Just running "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" probably won't work
right, is it will typically interfere with networking daemons.

Re: making routes permanent

[Vinod]

yeah i had rebooted it before reporting that it didnt
work.so i guess its not that networking wasnt
restarted.all my static-route has is this line.just
created the file static-routes a couple of days ago.

A search on RedHat for static routes shows up the following:

http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/tips/Network-Config-Tips
/Network-Config-Tips-4.html

Not sure which distribution that goes with. I couldn't find anything in
the RedHat 7.2 Reference Guide about static routes.

Note that the format suggests that you provide the interface,  not the
gateway:

   "Each line of the static-routes files should have the format:

        device args

   When a network interface is brought up, each line for that interface
    is passed to route as:

        route add -args device
   "

thanks,
Nivedita

Incidentally, you are missing the keyword netmask
