Configuring Static Routes

This section describes how to configure PortServer TS 8/16 for static routes.

Related Information

See the set route command in the Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.

Procedure

To configure a static route over a PPP link, enter the following command:

set route net= addr mask=mask metric=hops wanname=interface gateway=gateway

where

•addr is either the IP address of a system to be reached over this route or the network address of the subnet that is to be reached on this route

•mask is the mask to use for interpreting the IP address.

•metric is the number of hop to the destination

•interface is either ether if this route is over the Ethernet interface or the name of a user if the route is over a PPP link

•gateway is the IP address of the device that is the next hop to the destination

Example: Route Using the Ethernet Interface

In this example, a route to a subnet is created over the Ethernet interface. Key features include the following:

•The address on the net field is a subnetwork address, not the IP address of a specific device

•The wannane=ether, indicating that this route is over the Ethernet interface

•The metric field indicates that packets to this subnet will pass through two routers

•The gateway field indicates that all packets using this route are to be forwarded to the device at IP address 191.21.21.2.

set route net=199.21.33.0 mask=255.255.255.0 metric=2 wannname=ether gateway=199.21.21.2

Example: Route Using a PPP Link

In this example, a route to a subnet is created over the Ethernet interface. Key features include the following:

•The address on the net field is IP address of a specific device, not a subnetwork address

•The wannane is the name of a PPP user.

•The metric field indicates that packets to this subnet will pass through two routers

•The gateway field indicates that all packets using this route are to be forwarded to the device at IP address 191.21.21.2.

set route net=199.21.33.44 mask=255.255.255.255 metric=2 wannname=ppp1 gateway=199.21.21.2
