258 XPath OS CLI commands
Configures a static route.
Synopsis
urouteconfig in-port domain out-port
Availability
admin
Description
Fibre Channel Shortest Path First (FSPF) allows load sharing of traffic across multiple equal-cost, equivalent
paths. The assignment of routes to individual equivalent paths is done automatically. This assignment is not
deterministic; it might be different after a reboot or a fabric topology change. This command allows the
configuration of static routes. A static route is a route that is assigned to a specific path that does not
change when a topology change occurs unless the path used by the route becomes unavailable.
After this command is entered, if output-port is a usable port, all frames coming in from port
in-port addressed to domain are forwarded through port out-port.
If out-port is not usable, the routing assignment is not affected by this command. When out-port
becomes usable, however, the static route assignment for in-port is enforced.
out-port is usable if it is on a minimum-cost path to the destination domain.
in-port can be either an F_Port or an E_Port.
Notes
When using static routes, load sharing might be affected. The MP Router attempts to achieve the best load
sharing, but if too many routes are statically configured to use the same output port, equal load-sharing
might not be possible.
To prevent routing loops, static route configuration through a non-minimum-cost path is not allowed. If a
user attempts to configure such a route, the user is queried as to whether or not the entry should be saved
in the database.
Operands
The following operands are required:
Examples
To configure a static route:
urouteConfig
in-port The input port to be configured with the static route.
domain The destination domain.
out-port The output port to which traffic is forwarded.
