CONFIGURING BASIC IP ROUTING

Static Routes

USING MANAGE MODE COMMANDS

iproute

Displays the current IP static routing configuration data. The meaning of each displayed field for a route entry is:

DESTINATION

IP address for the destination network or host.

SUBNET-MASK

Subnet mask value for the destination network or host. A value of 255.255.255.255 indicates that this entry is for a specific IP host.

NEXT HOP

IP address or device name for the next hop router that provides access to the destination network or the host.

METRIC

Hop count to the destination network or the host.

iproute add

Allows an IP static route to be added to the current configuration. The required configuration elements are explained below:

IS THIS THE DEFAULT ROUTE?

Select whether or not this route is the default route or a route to a specific network that has been previously configured. The default route is a form of a static route that is useful when there are a large number of networks that can be accessed through a gateway. Care must be taken when specifying a default route. All IP datagrams that specify a destination IP address that do not have an explicit routing table entry will be sent to the default route. If this destination IP address is unreachable, it could result in a large amount of unnecessary network traffic.

IP-ADDRESS

The Destination IP address using dotted decimal notation. 000.000.000.000 is used to specify the default route coupled with Subnet-Mask value 000.000.000.000.

SUBNET-MASK

The number of significant bits for the subnet mask using dotted decimal notation. The mask bits start at the most significant bit of the IP address field and proceed to the least significant bit. If this is a host specific route entry, the mask value must be 255.255.255.255. Use the default if you are unsure of this value.

NEXT HOP

IP address using dotted decimal notation for the next hop router that provides access to the network or the host specified by IP address. Next hop should be on the network directly connected to a LAN interface or one of the CyberSWITCH IP sites. If next hop is one of the system’s IP sites, the IP address for that site should be used.

METRIC VALUE

Hop count to the destination network or the host.
