Release Notes G.07. 53
Enhancements in Release G.07.xx
Correction to the Management and Configuration Guide
This feature allows the routing switch to adjust to changes in network topology. The routing switch
does not continue trying to use routes on unavailable paths but instead uses routes only when their
paths are available.
Configuring a Static IP Route
To configure an static IP route with a destination network of 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router
IP address of 195.1.1.1, you would enter the following commands:
HPswitch(config)# ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 195.1.1.1
HPswitch(config)# write memory
Syntax: ip route < dest-ip-addr > < dest-mask > < next-hop-ip-addr >
— or —
ip route < de
st-ip-addr >/< mask-bits > < next-hop-ip-addr >
The < de
st-ip-addr > is the route’s destination.
The < de
st-mask > parameter specifies the subnet mask for the routes destination IP address. Ones
are significant bits and zeros allow any value. For example, the mask 255.255.255.0 matches all hosts
within the Class C sub-net address specified by the < dest-ip-addr >. Alternatively, you can use CIDR
notation and specify the number of bits in the network mask. For example, you can enter 209.157.22.0/
24 instead of 209.157.22.0 255.255.255.0.
The < ne
xt-hop-ip-addr > is the IP address of the next router in the path to the destination.
Note
The switch allows one static route configured for a particular network destination. If you configure
a static route to a given network and then later configure a different static route to the same network,
the switch replaces the first static route with the second.
Configuring the Default Route
You can also assign a default route and enter it in the routing table. The default route is the route
assigned to all traffic that has network destinations that are not in the local routing table. For example,
if 208.45.228.35 is the IP address of your ISP router, all non-local traffic could be directed to that route
by entering the commands:
HPswitch(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 208.45.228.35
HPswitch(config)# write memory
