It adds a static route.

If my local network is on 10.1.1.x and the local traffic at a remote  
site is on 10.2.1.x and I have a host on my local network that has a  
VPN to the remote network say 10.1.1.20 I can ask my computer to use  
that machine to send any traffic to the remote network so it becomes  
joined to this network.

route add -net 10.2.1 gw 10.1.1.20
