}

resource "google_compute_route" "foobar" {
  name        = "test"
  dest_range  = "15.0.0.0/24"
  network     = "${google_compute_network.foobar.name}"
  next_hop_ip = "10.0.1.5"
  priority    = 100
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

* `dest_range` - (Required) The destination IPv4 address range that this
