ip route add x.x.x.x via y.y.y.y
or
ip route add x.x.x.a/bb via y.y.y.y, where 'a' is the subnet address and 'bb' the prefix length - most commonly equal to '0/24'
you might also have to do 'ip route flush cache' after adding the route to activate it.
Thanks. So in my case it would be
ip route add 192.168.fef.ghi via y.y.y.y
or
ip route add 192.168.fef.0/24 via y.y.y.y
