Telnet Commands
uRouteConfig
Configure a static route.
Syntax uRouteConfig InArea, Domain, OutArea
Availability Admin
Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is
assigned a specific path; the path does not change with a topology
change unless the path becomes unavailable.
After this command is issued, and if OutArea is a usable port, all
frames coming in from InArea port addressed to Domain will be
forwarded through OutArea port.
If OutArea port is not usable, the routing assignment is not affected.
When OutArea port becomes usable again, the st atic route
assignment for the InArea is enforced.
OutArea port is usable if it is on a minimum cost path to the
destination domain.
InArea port can be either an F_Port or an E_Port.
Using static routes can affect load sharing. If a large number of routes are
statically configured to the same output port, the ability of the switch to
achieve optimum load sharing may be impaired.
To prevent routing loops, static route configuration using a nonminimum
cost path is not allowed. If you attempt to configure such a route, you are
asked if the entry should be saved in the database.

InArea Specify the port to be statically routed. This
operand is required.
