Configuring Static Routes
Static routes are commonly used to specify routes to IP addresses via gateways other than the
default.
A default gateway is specified when you configure Equalizer via the eqadmin character based
interface. If you need to access systems on a subnet that cannot be reached via this gateway, then
you need to specify a static route to those systems through the gateway for that subnet.
Static routes on Equalizer are specified using the browser-based Administration Interface. Static
routes can also be defined from the command line via the serial interface, but we recommend you
use the browser interface exclusively to manage static routes on Equalizer. The interface manages
changes to the /var/etc/rc.conf-eq file for you, and updates Equalizer’s routing tables (displayed
using the netstat -nr shell command) as you add and delete them.
Adding a Static Route
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration Interface.
2. Select Equalizer > Global Configuration from the main menu bar; then select menu >
Manage Static Routes from the modify system parameters screen. The static routes screen
appears in the right frame.
