ADD ROUTE Command for TCPMAN
TCPMONs. You can use the wild-card (*) notation for the TCPMON name, but if
you do not, it is assumed anyway. For example, ADD ROUTE *.RT1 is equivalent
to ADD ROUTE RT1. Names starting with DA, DD, DR, EA, and RT are reserved.
The naming convention for routes is seven characters. The first character must be
a letter.
DESTINATION destination-ip-address
specifies the Internet address of a single host or an entire network which can be
reached through the system specified in GATEWAY. A zero in the local address
portion of the destination Internet address acts as a wild card, representing all
hosts on the network specified in the network portion of the Internet address. If the
destination Internet address is 0 (0.0.0.0), this route specifies the default gateway.
In this case, all packets with addresses for which routes cannot be determined are
sent to the host specified in GATEWAY.
This parameter is required.
GATEWAY gateway-ip-address
specifies the Internet address of the gateway host through which the network or
host addressed in DESTINATION can be reached. This is a required attribute.
DESTTYPE { HOST | BROADCAST }
specifies whether the route is a connection to a specific host (HOST) or to a
network (BROADCAST). This is an optional attribute.
NETMASK mask-val
specifies a subnet mask value to be associated with the route entry. This mask-
val is specified as dotted-decimal or hexadecimal notation. If it is not specified, it
defaults to the default network mask of the specified IP address. The netmask
value is set to be 0.0.0.0 for the default routes. The netmask value is set to
255.255.255.255 for the host route. Since non-contiguous mask values are not
supported, netmask values such as 0.255.255.0, 255.0.255.0, 0.0.255.0 are
considered invalid.
Default: If the route is added automatically when a subnet is added, the default
address is the IP address of the subnet's host (the value for the
subnet's IPADDRESS attribute) converted to broadcast form.
Default: The subsystem supplies no default value for Gateway unless the
route is being added automatically as a part of the ADD SUBNET
operation. The default value is the IP address of the subnet's host (the
value for the subnet's IPADDRESS attribute).
Default: If you do not specify DESTTYPE in an ADD ROUTE command, the
default value is BROADCAST. If a route is added automatically as the
result of an ADD SUBNET command, the default value is
BROADCAST.
