Route
Route is a kernel utility that allows the user to view and edit the rules that govern how packets destined
for various subnets are routed. These rules tell the device which gateways on a given interface's subnet
may be used to route packets to hosts on other subnets.
Route contains three tab windows: Input, Output, and About. You enter and execute the command on the
Input tab and review the results on the Output tab.
On the Network Menu window, tap the Route icon once .The Route screen opens to the Input tab.

displays no information on its own. See the individual tasks below to see the Output tab for each
