# vpn route

## Syntax

```
[no] vpn 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 announcement, or all configured route announcements if no route is specified.</td></tr><tr><td>address</td><td>The IPv4 or IPv6 network address to be announed to peers. Required unless <code>no</code> is specified.</td></tr><tr><td>bits</td><td>The network prefix length of the route.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

Island announces all local LAN networks to VPN peers by default.

## Usage Guidelines

Island provides an extention to the WireGuard protocol to announce a set of routes to peers. By default, Island will announce all local LAN networks to a peer. If this command is specified, it will override the default announcements. Therefore, all desired routes must be included, including local networks.

This command has no effect on non-Island peers.

## Examples

```
vpn route 172.1.32.0/22
vpn route fd09::/16
```
