4.2.1.1.2. ROUTES.DAT Configuration File
The ROUTES.DAT configuration file specifies network routing paths to be established at system boot. Typically, this file will only be required if the BCU/CAL is connected to a wide area network, where routers exist between the unit and other customer host facilities. The template file contains a few example routes, which are commented out (i.e., preceded with a # character). If no network routing is required, this file may be omitted, or left unaltered.
A log file (1.2/log/routes.log) is generated on each system boot. This file contains a summary of successful routing additions, as well as any errors detected during processing of the ROUTES.DAT file.
Network routes are specified in the following form:
type | destination_ip | gateway | gateway_ip |
