NO! A host route is a single IP address Change subnetmask as below:
ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST('9.5.11.0') SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0') NEXTHOP('a.b.c.d') BINDIFC('x.w.y.z') TEXT('VPN for range .1 thru .254').

Subject: ADDTCPRTE question
I need to add static routes for entire range for VPN access.
Initially, I thought I would need an entry for each IP.
But if the 4th byte is a 0, this will give the entire range.
This can be accomplished with one static route.
Is this correct?
ADDTCPRTE RTEDEST('9.5.11.0') SUBNETMASK(*HOST) NEXTHOP('a.b.c.d') BINDIFC('x.w.y.z') TEXT('VPN for range .1 thru .254').
For an IPv4 route, you must specify all 4 bytes that make up an
internet address though some of the bytes may be equal to 0. For
example, a route to all the hosts on the 9.5.11 subnetwork is
identified by entering 9.5.11.0 for the route destination. Used in
combination with a subnetmask, type of service value, and next hop,
the route destination uniquely identifies a route to a network or
system.
Thank You
