Manual setup:

[root at lin2 ~]# route add default gw 217.20.117.1 dev eth0
[root at lin2 ~]# route add host  217.20.117.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth0

Automagical setup:

[root at lin2 ~]# cat >>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0
ADDRESS0=217.20.117.1
NETMASK0=255.255.255.255
EOF
[root at lin2 ~]# cat >>/etc/sysconfig/network <<EOF
GATEWAY=217.20.117.1
EOF

The *assumes* that the network (switch or router box) that eth0 is
connected to also has 217.20.117.1 connected to it.  Typically a router
'box' contains both the router and a ethernet switch: a 'pure' router
would only have two ethernet jacks, one for each of the two networks the
router routes between.  Since there is no great demand to put a single
machine on a network and since the switch hardware is dirt cheap and
since no one does coax Ethernet anymore, modern router boxes include a
switch in the 'inside' network.
