In order for a route to be valid, there has to be a path. You can specify a next hop interface (E0/0 for example), but you chose a next hop IP address. Since your routing table only lists these following networks, C 170.70.32.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0/1 C 170.70.21.0 is directly connected, Ethernet0/0 There is no path to your next hop network, which is 179.70.32.0. I assume this was a typo. If it was not, then you can still make the route appear by adding a loopback interface and giving it a valid address within that next hop network, such as 179.70.32.1/24. Of course, this will end up sending all your packets to the packet discard bucket:-) HTH, Paul Werner ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number - Free Free voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
