Hi Ahbaid,
The man pages of route clearly explains all your doubts.
However, i will give a brief intro.
if you have the routing talbe something like this
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.16 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0
eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default web-server.indi 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
and NOW YOU WANT TO DELETE THE DEFAULT ROUTE.
use the command (be in root)
/sbin/route del default
or
IF YOU WANT TO DELETE THE NETWORK 192.168.1.0
use the command
/sbin/route del -net 192.168.1.0
now you routes are deleted.
How does the OS rebuilds the routing table - Acutally when the OS comes up
it first looks into the file /sbin/ifup . If he is unable to build the
routing table, he the looks into /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file to get
the same.
If you are not sure/not clear about these file, then you can manually
inovke it and can put it in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file so that your
manually added routes comes up again while rebooting !!!!!!!!!
You can look into these above mentioned files , which is self
explainatory.
