ROUTING TABLE COMMANDS
The Switch supports only static routing for IP and IPv6 formatted addressing. Users can create up to 128 static route entries for
IPv4 and IPv6 combined. Only manually configured static routes can route IP packets, which means the local route cannot route
IP packets. For each device that is a part of the DGS-3400 network, users may only configure one IP address as a static route.
The routing table commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the
following table.
For IPv4 static routes, once a static route has been set, the Switch will send an ARP request packet to the next hop router that has
been set by the user. Once an ARP response has been retrieved by the switch from that next hop, the route becomes enabled. If a
response is not received from the next hop device after three ARP requests have been set, the configured static route will remain
in a link-down status.
The Switch also supports a floating static route, which means that the user may create an alternative static route to a different next
hop device located in the same network. This secondary next hop device route is considered as a backup static route for when the
primary static route is down. If the primary route is lost, the backup route will uplink and its status will become Active.

delete iproute ipv6 {<ipv6networkaddr> <ipv6addr> | all}
show iproute ipv6 {<ipv6networkaddr>}

1-65535>}]

Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
create iproute
Purpose Used to create IP route entries to the Switch’s IP routing table.
Syntax
create iproute <network_address> <ipaddr> {<metric 1-65535>}
{[primary | backup]}
Description This command is used to create a primary and backup IP route entry to
the Switch’s IP routing table.
Parameters
<network_address> − IP address and netmask of the IP interface that is
the destination of the route. The address and mask information can be
specified using the traditional format (for example, 10.1.2.3/255.0.0.0 or
in CIDR format, 10.1.2.3/8).
<ipaddr> − The gateway IP address for the next hop router.
<metric 1-65535> − Allows the entry of a routing protocol metric entry,
representing the number of routers between the Switch and the IP
address above. The default setting is 1.
[primary | backup] - The user may choose between Primary and
Backup. If the Primary Static Route fails, the Backup Route will support
the entry. Please take note that the Primary and Backup entries cannot
have the same Gateway.
