remove route
 

easy one hopefully...
i wish to remove a route from my route tables.
results from route...

> route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.0.0.138 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

what syntax do i use to remove the second line (eth1)?

I have tried various combinations and permutations of 'route del...'
yes I tried 'man route', I would like a plain english answer though.

try

route del localnet eth1

regards

thanks, but no go
 

yep, tried that one. results...

> route del localnet eth1
SIOCDELRT: Invalid argument

thanks for trying.

any other takers?

btw, distro is Slackware 9.0

as i have here

--------
root@gaurav:~# ip route show
202.XX.XX.XX dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 61.XX.XX.XX
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via 202.XX.XX.XX dev ppp0

root@gaurav:~# ip route del 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0

root@gaurav:~# ip route show
