Nortel Networks 4050 manual Configuring static routes using the CLI, Primary port, Cfg/sys/routes

Chapter 10 Configuring system settings 471

/cfg/sys/host #/interface <interface ID>

followed by:

primary <port>	Specifies the primary port in the interface, on which the
	active link is set up. If the primary port fails, the active
	link is immediately transferred to a remaining
	(secondary) port. As soon as the primary port regains
	functionality, the active link is transferred back to the
	primary port.
	• port is an integer indicating the port number of
	the physical port assigned to the interface. The
	default is 0 (zero).
	The default value of zero means that the currently
	active link remains in use until it fails. If the port fails,
	the link is transferred to another port. The link remains
	active on the port to which it was transferred, even after
	the failed port regains functionality.
	The primary port setting applies only when you have
	configured more than one port in the interface, and the
	mode is failover.
delete	Removes the interface from the system configuration.

Configuring static routes using the CLI

To manage static routes on a cluster-wide level when more than one interface is configured, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/routes

To manage static routes for a particular Nortel SNAS 4050 host when more than one interface is configured, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/host <host ID>/routes

where host ID is an integer automatically assigned to the host when you perform initial setup on the Nortel SNAS 4050 device.

To manage static routes for a particular interface, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/host #/interface <interface ID>/routes

where interface ID is an integer in the range 1 to 252 that uniquely identifies the interface on the Nortel SNAS 4050 host.
