104CHAPTER 8: CONFIGURING BRIDGING AND ROUTING

To delete a static route, use:

DELete -IP ROUte <IP address> {<gateway> !<port>}

The metric can be the number of routers a packet must travel through to reach its destination, or a number associated with the path cost, for example, speed. The metric is used to determine which route to use if more than one route exists to a destination. The bridge/router uses the lowest metric.

See the example in Figure 7. On router 1, you can add a static route for the Los Angeles network by entering:

ADD -IP ROUte 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.1 1

This example shows that network number 10.0.0.0 (the Los Angeles network) is reachable by router 1 through gateway 11.0.0.1 on router 2. The gateway address is the IP address of port 3 on router 2. Because a packet routed from router 1 to the Los Angeles network has to go through one gateway, the metric is 1.

If the outgoing interface is a PPP link, you can add a static route using the outgoing port number instead of the next-hop gateway address. For
