Telnet Commands 243
uRouteConfig
Configure a static route.
Synopsis
uRouteConfig portnumber, domainnumber, outputportnumber
Availability admin
Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is assigned a
specific path; the path does not change with a topology change unless the
path becomes unavailable.
After this command is issued, and if
output_portnumber
is a usable
port, all frames coming in from port
portnumber
addressed to
domainnumber
are forwarded through port
output_portnumber
. If
output_portnumber
is not usable, the routing assignment is not affected.
When
output_portnumber
becomes usable, the static route assignment
for
portnumber
is enforced.
output_portnumber
is usable if the associated neighbor is in
NB_ST_FULL
state. See
interfaceShow
for more information.
Using static routes can affect load sharing. If a large number of routes are
statically configured to the same output port, the ability of the switch to
achieve optimum load sharing may be impaired.
To prevent routing loops, static route configuration using a non-minimum
cost path is not allowed. If you attempt to configure such a route, you are
asked if the entry should be saved in the database.

portnumber
Specify the port to be statically routed; it can be
