Configure a static route.

Description
Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is a route that is
assigned to a specific path, and will not change when a topology change occurs,
unless the path used by the route becomes unavailable.
After this command is issued, and if OutArea is a usable port, all frames
coming in from InArea port addressed to Domain will be forwarded through
OutArea port.
If OutArea port is not usable, then the routing assignment is not affected by
this command. When OutArea port becomes usable again, the static route
assignment for InArea is enforced.
OutArea port is usable if it is on a minimum cost path to the destination
domain.
InArea port can be either an F_Port or an E_Port.
Note:
achieve optimum load sharing, but if too many routes are statically configured to use
the same output port, a fair load sharing may not be achievable.
In order to prevent routing loops, a static route configuration using a non-minimum cost
path is not allowed. If an attempt is made to configure such a route, the user is queried
on whether or not the entry should be saved in the database.
