Usage
UNIVERGE WL Control System can use a static route only if a direct
route in the route table resolves the static route. UNIVERGE WL Control System
adds routes with next-hop types Local and Direct when you add an IP interface to
a VLAN, if the VLAN is up. If one of these added routes can resolve the static
route, UNIVERGE WL Control System can use the static route.
Before you add a static route, use the show interface command to verify that the
UNIVERGE WL Controller has an IP interface in the same subnet as the next-hop
router. If not, the VLAN:Interface field of the show ip route command output
shows that the route is down.
You can configure a maximum of 4 routes per destination. This includes default
routes, which have destination 0.0.0.0/0. Each route to a given destination must
have a unique router address. When the route table contains multiple default or
explicit routes to the same destination, UNIVERGE WL Control System uses the
route with the lowest cost. If two or more routes to the same destination have the
lowest cost, UNIVERGE WL Control System selects the first route in the route
table.
When you add multiple routes to the same destination, UNIVERGE WL Control
System groups the routes and orders them from lowest cost at the top of the group
to highest cost at the bottom of the group. If you add a new route that has the same
destination and cost as a route already in the table, UNIVERGE WL Control
System places the new route at the top of the group of routes with the same cost.
Examples
The following command adds a default route that uses default router
10.5.4.1 and gives the route a cost of 1:
PROMPT# set ip route default 10.5.4.1 1
success: change accepted.
The following commands add two default routes, and configure UNIVERGE WL
Control System to always use the route through 10.2.4.69 when the UNIVERGE
WL Controller interface to that default router is up:
PROMPT# set ip route default 10.2.4.69 1
success: change accepted.
PROMPT# set ip route default 10.2.4.17 2
success: change accepted.
