route [GatewayIP] <gatewayip>

Administrator

show route All

Removes an IP route from the switch configuration when it is not directly connected to the NMS.

Displays IP routes used by the switch. The flag numbers shown in the flags column relate to the hexadecimal figures listed in the Output Parameter table above. Whatever number is shown defines what flags are active. For example, 1 equals flag 0x1; 5 equals flag 0x1 + flag 0x4; 7 equals flag 0x1 + flag 0x2 + flag 0x4 and so on.
