Description Jan Engelhardt 2005-12-06 16:55:51 UTC 
The manpage says...

       The first column gives the destination, written as the IP-address of  a
       host  or a network. The heading default indicates that the route is the
       default gateway. Do not use 0.0.0.0 for this purpose. A  prefixlen  can
       be used; e.g., 10.10.0.0/16 is valid.

       The  third column gives the netmask for a remote host or remote network
       behind a gateway.  For the default route or if you were  using  a  pre‐
       fixlen in the first column, you can omit it.

So what would I have to put in the 3rd field if I had specified a prefix in the first? Which one is valid?
 192.168.77.0/24 192.168.76.1 - -
or
 192.168.77.0 192.168.76.1 255.255.255.0 -
