Deleting a local network routeEver change the ip and gateway, or even just
the gateway on an NT/Windows 2000 box? It'll want to reboot to make the
change. Why reboot a server when you can manually put in the change in two
command lines?
route delete 10.11.12.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.11.12.13
route add new-ip_x.x.x.x MASK new-mask_x.x.x.x new-gateway_x.x.x.x
There, no need to reboot. Oh, and re-reading this, yes, you still need to
specify the new IP and gatway first, but you just answer "no" to reboot
afterwords.
Anyone notice how on Windows 98SE (might be on other versions) that you can
change your manaul DNS info, it'll want to reboot, but you don't have to,
it's already taken affect? (All other changes require a reboot).
Interesting how Microsoft decided to pick and choose on stuff like that
(perhaps that one is a fluke).

I was curious if someone could rationale why a network engineer would want
to delete the local network route out of a route table.
For example if your route table looked comparable
Dest. Mask Gtwy Int
Metric
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 1 <-----Loopback
10.11.12.0 255.255.255.0 10.11.12.13
10.11.13.13 1 <-----local network (One to be deleted)
10.11.12.13 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
1 <------local host
10.11.12.255 255.255.255.255 10.11.12.13 10.11.12.13
1 <------local network broadcast
192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.20.111
192.168.20.111 1 <-----local network
192.168.20.111 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
1 <------local host
192.168.20.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.20.111
192.168.20.111 1 <------local network broadcast
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 10.11.12.13 10.11.13.13 1
<------broadcast
Why would someone need to or want to manually delete out a local
network route? it is to my understanding that 3 routes need to exist for
basic connectivity via TCP/IP (besides the loopback and broadcast):
The local host
The local network
The local network broadcast
Any feedback is appreciated
