There is a netsh and a route command on Windows. From their help text it looks like both can be used to configure static routes. When should you use one and not the other? Is IPv6 a distinguishing factor here?
routeis a very old and basic tool for displaying and modifying the entries in the local IP routing table whilenetshis the newer, more robust command-line scripting utility that allows you to, either locally or remotely, manipulate the network configuration.netshhas a zillion more features than route; it can even save your current settings as a script that another instance of netsh can parse. Check out Usingnetshto see the giant feature set and compare it to how very basic and simpleroutesis.
