# vpn peer route

## Syntax

```
[no] vpn peer <id> route [<address/bits>]
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Removes the specified route, or all routes, from the VPN.</td></tr><tr><td>id</td><td>The VPN identifier. Must be a number in the range 0-1022 or the keyword "auto".</td></tr><tr><td>address</td><td>The IPv4 or IPv6 network address to be routed to the peer.</td></tr><tr><td>bits</td><td>The network prefix length of the route.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

By default, Island will install any routes sent by a remote Island peer. For non-Island peers (which do not support route announcements), a route will be installed for the address defined by the [vpn peer remote-ip](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-remote-ip.md) command, if any.

## Usage Guidelines

This command installs a static route to a VPN peer. It may be specified multiple times per peer.

If this command is given, any routes sent by a remote Island peer will be ignored.

If a VPN exists with the specified identifier, the existing VPN will be modified; otherwise, a new VPN with the specified identifier will be created. If "auto" is specified for the identifier, a new VPN will be created using the next available identifier.

## Examples

```
vpn peer route 192.168.12.0/24
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-route.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
