I'm kind of new in networks and I have to add static routes to few networks on CentOS. Here are 2 questions that I have:

How to add this: 10.10.x.x/16 is this valid entry and is this mean all IP's on x.x will be valid?
If I'm understand correctly I need to create file with the name of the interface via which will be routing in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Is that correct?

1) You want 10.10.0.0/16. 2) The file should be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-$INTERFACE. — jordanm, Dec 15, 2016 at 6:46
@jordanm is correct. 10.10.0.0/16 is the preferred way. That said, you can have any two numbers in the last two places (they will just be ignored). — 2ps, Dec 15, 2016 at 6:56

As @jordanm said you need to add this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-INTERFACENAME

Add following lines

10.10.0.0/16 via IP dev INTERFACENAME

Change IP and INTERFACENAME with yours. After this restart your network

service network restart
