in /etc/config/network

config route
option interface lan
option target 192.168.2.0
option gateway 192.168.2.1

i'm not shure if theres an option netmask (i guess it is) but subnet is also defined via network address (in this example nm would be 255.255.255.0

Example for UCI CLI usage to add a static route to /etc/config/network:

# uci add network route
# uci set network.@route[-1].interface=lan
# uci set network.@route[-1].target=192.168.2.0
# uci set network.@route[-1].netmask=255.255.255.0
# uci set network.@route[-1].gateway=192.168.2.1
# uci commit network

# uci show network.@route[-1]
network.cfg078108=route
network.cfg078108.interface=lan
network.cfg078108.target=192.168.2.0
network.cfg078108.netmask=255.255.255.0
network.cfg078108.gateway=192.168.2.1

Example above only works with latest trunk.

Hi,
I also want to add a static route but this doesn't work. I set this in /etc/config/network

config 'route'
    option 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'target' '10.0.1.0'
    option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
    option 'gateway' '10.0.1.1'

I rebooted but any ping 10.0.1.1 is routed through my wan iface ...

Ach it's working now, I put the wrong gateway ip, It should be

config 'route'
    option 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'target' '10.0.1.0'
    option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
    option 'gateway' '192.168.1.2'

Would these 2 examples be valid/working ?

config 'route'
    option 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'target' '10.0.0.0'
    option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
    option 'gateway' '192.168.1.0'

or replacing the ip by the iface name

config 'route'
    option 'interface' 'lan'
    option 'target' 'wlan0'
    option 'netmask' '255.255.255.0'
    option 'gateway' 'lan'

The discussion might have continued from here.
