Chapter 8 Configuring Routing
This chapter contains information on configuring Static Routing and AWR on the
MSR2000, it has the following sections:
• Static Routing
• AWR
Static Routing
Static routing allows the network administrator full control over the topology and data
forwarding behavior of the network. The administrator constructs the routing table for a
router by specifying a route for each destination network.
A configured static route is installed in the routing table only when the route is active;
that is, the route’s next-hop must be bound to an operational interface. The following
table summarizes the command to add/remove static route:

Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip route <A.B.C.D/M> <A.B.C.D>
no ip route <A.B.C.D/M> <A.B.C.D>
CONFIGURATION Add a indirect static route
Remove a gateway static
route
<A.B.C.D/M>: destination

ip route <A.B.C.D/M> station <name> <0-1>

<0-1>
Add a directly-connected

Dynamic Routing through the AWR protocol
Dynamic routing is the process through which a router learns and updates routes to the
other nodes in the network. For optimal performance in a wireless mesh environment,
MSR2000 supports the intelligent Adaptive Wireless Routing (AWR) protocol. When
AWR is activated, each MSR2000 will automatically maintain a table of optimal routes to
