I have a routing entry for the subnet:
show route
Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
0.0.0.0 0 193.98.91.2 local NS 1 ether0
194.141.20.8 29 194.141.20.9 local NL 1 ptp32
193.98.91.0 25 193.98.91.54 local NL 1 ether0
I think they are created from the location entry, because I did not added
it manually.
If I add manuelly an routing entry for this subnet, I get the following:
add route 193.141.19.8/29 193.141.19.9 1
Warning: Gateway is not directly connected - marking as Unknown
Route entry successfully added
portmaster> show route
Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
0.0.0.0 0 193.98.91.2 local NS 1 ether0
194.141.20.8 29 194.141.20.9 local NL 1 ptp32
193.98.91.0 25 193.98.91.54 local NL 1 ether0
193.141.20.8 29 193.141.20.9 local NS 1 Unknown
and the Interface is "Unknown" ?
