Routing Basics

Routing is the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send network traffic. It is crucial for connecting different networks and for the correct delivery of data from one network to another.

Adding Static Routes on Linux

To add a static route on a Linux system, you use the ip route add command followed by the network range, the gateway address, and the device name.

Example Command

ip route add 10.10.10.0/24 via 10.10.10.1 dev tun0

This specific command is telling the operating system to send all traffic destined for the 10.10.10.0/24 network to the next-hop gateway at 10.10.10.1 via the tun0 network interface.
