set forwarding

enabled={onoff}

Enables or disables a static route table entry.

on

Enables an entry. All its options must be specified and valid to enable an entry. The enabled entry is immediately added to the device's IP routing table.

off

Disables an entry. If the entry was previously enabled and added to the device's IP routing table, that entry is immediately removed from the IP routing table.

net=destination ip address

Specifies the IP address of destination network or host to which the static route applies. This static route table entry defines how packets will be routed by the device when they are sent to the destination network or host.

mask=subnet mask

The subnetwork mask to be used for the static route, which is used in conjunction with the destination IP address. A subnetwork mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that the destination IP address is a specific host rather than a network.

gateway=ip address

The IP address of the gateway for this static route. When the device routes packets that are destined for the specified destination IP address (host or network), those packets are sent to this gateway as their first “hop.”

metric={1-16}

Specifies the metric, or the “cost” to reach the destination. This is the “distance” in terms of number of “hops” for the routed packets to get to the destination.

interface=interface name

 

Specifies the name of the local network interface through which routed

 

packets are sent for this static route. Examples are “eth0” and “ppp1.” For

 

devices that support PPP interfaces, the actual PPP interface name may

 

vary: ppp1, ppp2, ppp4. The valid network interface names can be

 

displayed using “display netdevice.”

Examples

Enable IP forwarding

 

#> set forwarding ipforwarding=on

 

Add a static route entry

 

This command adds a static route for packets destined to hosts on the

 

10.10.0.0 network. These packets are sent through the eth0 interface to a

 

local router 10.30.1.1. In this example, the device on which this static route

 

is added has an IP address of 10.30.1.188, and the router 10.30.1.1 is on

 

its local subnetwork.

 

set forwarding staticrouteindex=1 action=add enabled=on net=10.10.0.0

 

mask=255.255.0.0 gateway=10.30.1.1 metric=2 interface=eth0
