First add a rule with 'ip rule' to select some packets that do a rednet table lookup.
Then run 'ip rule list' to show the table list with rednet added.

Now you have to generate something in the rednet table with e.g.

ip route add  default via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ethX table rednet

and check it with:

ip route show table rednet

and finally: ip route flush cache
