Telnet Commands

uRouteConfig

Configure a static route.

Synopsis uRouteConfig port, domain, outputport

Availability admin

Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is assigned a specific path; the path does

not change with a topology change unless the path becomes unavailable.

After this command is issued, and if outputport is a usable port, all frames coming in from a

specified port addressed to the specified domain are routed through the specified

outputport.

If outputport is not usable, the routing assignment is not affected. When outputport

becomes usable the static route assignment for the port is enforced.

outputport is usable if the associated neighbor associated is in NB_ST_FULL state. See

interfaceShow for more information.

Using static routes can affect load sharing. If a large number of routes are statically configured to

the same output port, the ability of the switch to achieve optimum load sharing may be impaired.

To prevent routing loops, static route configuration using a non-minimum cost path is not allowed.

If you attempt to configure such a route, you are asked if the entry should be saved in the database.

Operands This command has the following operands:

port Specify the port to be statically routed; can be either an F_port or an E_port.

Valid values for port number vary depending on the switch type. This operand is

required.

domain

Specify the destination domain. This operand is required.

outputport

Specify the output port where traffic is to be forwarded. This operand is required.

Examples To configures a static route for all traffic coming in from port 1 and addressed to domain 2 to go

through port 5:
