SET ROUTE
SET ROUTE
Defines a routing path in either the permanent or volatile routes database.
Routes in the permanent, on-disk routes database are static. Static routes can be
supplemented by routes that the dynamic routing server receives. Defaults are as
follows:
• If the network is not active, the command affects the permanent database.
• If the network is active, the command affects the volatile database. (To
modify the permanent database, use the /PERMANENT qualifier.)
Note the following restrictions:
• You can add routes.
• You cannot use SET NOROUTE to remove a route that is maintained by the
route daemon.
• To have full manual control over your routing table, first issue STOP
ROUTING and then use SET NOROUTE.
• SET NOROUTE does not require any qualifiers.

Note
HP strongly recommends that you do not specify alias names with the
destination parameter or with the /GATEWAY=host qualifier.
