+== NAME
+network-route - Manage Static Routing
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+[verse]
+'network route static' COMMAND ...
+'network route static add' NETWORK [--gateway=GATEWAY,--unreachable,--prohibit,--blackhole] [--mtu=MTU]
+'network route static remove' NETWORK
+'network route static list' [--protocol=ipv6|ipv4]
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+This command helps to manage routes.
+
+== COMMANDS
+The following commands are understood:
+
+'add' NETWORK ...::
+ A new route may be added by the 'add' command. It is required to pass a
+ valid network prefix NETWORK, which can be either IPv6 or IPv4.
+ +
+ For unicast routes, the '--gateway=GATEWAY' option must be passed, where
+ GATEWAY is a valid IP address of the same protocol type as the network
+ prefix is.
+ +
+ Use '--unreachable', '--prohibit', '--blackhole' can be used to create of
+ that type. See ROUTE TYPES below for more information about these options.
+ +
+ The optional '--mtu=MTU' parameter defines the MTU along the path to the
+ destination and must be an integer number. This will show you very
+ detailed information about the given device.
+
+'remove' NETWORK::
+ A route can be removed with this command.
+ +
+ NETWORK is the network prefix of an existing route.
+
+'list'::
+ Shows a list of all configured routes.
+ +
+ Output can be filtered by passing --protocol=[ipv6|ipv4].
+
+== ROUTE TYPES
+
+[horizontal]
+'unicast'::
+ A unicast route is the most common route in routing tables. It is a route to
+ a destination network address, which describes the path to the destination.
+ Use the '--gateway=GATEWAY' option to create such a route.
+
+'unreachable'::
+ When a route is determined and the routing decision process returns a
+ destination with an unreachable route type, an ICMP unreachable message is
+ generated and returned to the source address.
+
+'prohibit'::
+ This works like an _unreachable_ route, but the returned ICMP message is an
+ ICMP prohibited message.
+
+'blackhole'::
+ Packets matching this kind of route are silently discarded.
+ There will be no ICMP message sent to the source and no packet be forwarded.
