# ⁣⁣route command (static routes configuration)

### Description <a href="#id-routecommand-staticroutesconfiguration-description" id="id-routecommand-staticroutesconfiguration-description"></a>

The "*route*" command provides with manual management of system routing tables. In the normal mode, when a dynamic routing is active, this command is not needed. However, in some cases it allows to achieve more precise, non-standard configuration.

**Syntax:**

```
cmd: add, delete
args: NET[/MASK] GATEWAY [-iface] [-nostatic]
```
