Well, that'd surprise me if "32" was correct.

Using "32" as prefix - or writing a route to 192.168.1.0/32 is
equivalent to a route to 192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.255, which
generally stands for "this IP address only" or a "host route", which is
a rather short ;-) range of IP addresses.

Assuming you intended to route 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0, "24" would
be the right value for "prefix".

Did you check the routing table after your modification?
