Enhanced Routing Capabilities
For example: The command ip route 193.168.10.0 24 serial 1:1 permanent creates a permanent static route to the network 193.168.10.0 24 via the Serial 1:1 interface.
Note: Permanent static routes should not be configured over Serial Layer 2 interfaces that participate in a
Discard Route
Discard Route enables you to prevent forwarding traffic to specific networks. You can configure a static route that drops all packets destined to it. This is called a discard route, indicated by the “null0” parameter, and is configured using the ip route <network> <mask> null0 command.
For example: the command ip route 134.66.0.0 16 Null0 specifies the network 134.66.0.0 16 as a discard route.
Export Default Metric
X330WAN enables you to configure the metric to be used in updates that are redistributed from one routing protocol to another.
In RIP, the default is 1 and the maximum value is 16. In OSPF, the default is 20.
Set this value before redistribution using the
OSPF Dynamic Cost Support
An X330WAN OSPF interface can dynamically set a Cost. By default the OSPF interface Cost is calculated based on the interface bandwidth, according to the formula:
Cost = 100,000/bandwidth (in kbps)
The result is that the higher the bandwidth, the lower the Cost.
To manually configure the Cost of the OSPF interface:
•Statically configure the Cost using the ip ospf cost command from the interface context. By using this option, no dynamic bandwidth updates can change the Cost. Return to dynamic cost calculation using the no ip ospf cost command.
•Manually set the bandwidth of the interface using the bandwidth command from within the Interface context. In this case, the configured bandwidth and not the actual interface bandwidth is taken into account when calculating the cost based on the above formula.
