When you use ROUTE CHANGE and enter a non-existent route, no error message
appears to indicate that the route does not exist.
For example, if you enter the following:
route change 199.199.24.0 mask 255.255.255.0 157.57.8.1 metric 1
and your Route table looks like the table below, no error message appears
that indicates you have an incorrect route:
Active Routes:

CAUSE

that you enter.
RESOLUTION

to the route has been done correctly.
