The command "sudo route delete ${destination_ip_address}/24" is used to delete a specific route from the routing table on a Unix or Unix-like operating system (such as Linux).

Let's break down the command:

• "sudo": It is a command that allows a user with administrative privileges to run commands as a superuser. It may prompt for the user's password before executing the command.
• "route": It is a command-line utility to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Unix-like operating systems.
• "delete": It is an argument to the "route" command, specifying that we want to delete a route from the routing table.
• "${destination_ip_address}/24": The ${destination_ip_address} is a placeholder for an actual IP address. The "/24" is a subnet mask (in CIDR notation) specifying the size of the network prefix. Together, they represent the destination network or subnet for the route that needs to be deleted.

For example, if ${destination_ip_address} is "192.168.0.0", the command "sudo route delete 192.168.0.0/24" will delete the route for the network 192.168.0.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (or /24).
