uRouteConfig
Configures a static route.
Synopsis urouteconfig in_area domain out_area
Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is a route that is assigned to a specific path
(defined by port number out_area), a route that does not change when a topology change occurs unless
the path used by the route becomes unavailable.
After this command is issued, if out_area is associated with a valid minimum-cost path, all frames
coming in from in_area port addressed to domain are forwarded through out_area port.
If port number out_area port is not associated with such a path, the routing assignment is not immediately
affected by this command. However, the static route is remembered so that it can be enforced if this port
becomes the port of a valid path in the future.
If a static route requires some hardware resources that are already used, a platform conflict warning
message is displayed and the configuration does not take effect.
The in_area port can be either an F_Port or an E_Port.

When using static routes, load sharing might be affected. The switch attempts to achieve optimum load
sharing, but if too many routes are statically configured to use the same output port, a fair load sharing
might not be achievable.
To prevent routing loops, static route requests involving non-minimum-cost paths are not enforced.
Static route configuration is not supported on SilkWorm directors set to chassis configuration option 5
by chassisConfig.

port 5:
switch:admin> urouteconfig 1 2 5
