as that of the routes automatically added by the ADD SUBNET command. TCP/IP
creates dynamic routes when it receives ICMP redirect packets. Dynamic routes have
names of the form #DRT*. (When adding a route, note that the DSM object-naming
conventions reserve #RT and #DRT; so select names that start with something else
(such as #RO).) For a more detailed discussion of routing see TCP/IP Illustrated by W.
Richard Stevens.
If you are using SCF, enter the sequence of commands shown in Example 3-16 for
each subnet with which the NonStop TCP/IP process will communicate:
Additional routes are required when the remote network-address portion of the IP
address is not the same as that of the routes automatically added by ADD SUBNET.

process-name is the name you gave to the NonStop TCP/IP process
when you started it through the RUN command.
subnet-name-n is the name to be assigned to the SUBNET.
lif-name-n is the logical interface (LIF) name used to communicate
with the physical interface (PIF) on the ServerNet adapters
connected to the system.
ip-addr-n is the Internet address of a host system.
The #LOOP0 SUBNET provides a loopback to the same
host for conducting tests; by convention, its Internet
address is always 127.1.
route-name-n is the name to be assigned to the route.
