I see a couple of unusual entries in my routing table that I would like to remove:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
XXX.27.44.1 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 20
XXX.27.255.255 255.255.255.255 XXX.27.44.1 XXX.27.44.1 20
All the "XXX"'s are the same octet.
I would strongly prefer NOT to clear the routing table, since this is a production server.
Here is what I've tried:
route delete XXX.27.44.1
The route specified was not found.
route delete XXX.27.44.1 mask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 metric 20
The route specified was not found.
route delete XXX.27.255.255
The route specified was not found.
route delete XXX.27.255.255 mask 255.255.255.255 XXX.27.44.1 metric 20
The route specified was not found.
I also tried adding the routes in hopes that I could delete them:
route add XXX.27.44.1 mask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 metric 20
The route addition failed: The parameter is incorrect.
route add XXX.27.255.255 mask 255.255.255.255 XXX.27.44.1 metric 20
The route addition failed: The parameter is incorrect.
Bonus question: What do these entries do, and how did they get there?
