The Static Rtes profile contains many of the parameters used to configure static routes,
including the following:
Parameter
Name
Active
Dest
Gateway
Metric
Preference
Private
Ospf-Cost
ASE-Type
ASE-Tag
In addition to the parameters in the Static Rtes profile, you must also set the Ethernet > Mod
Config > Ether Options > Route Pref > Rip Preference parameter to establish the preference
value for routes learned from the RIP protocol. When choosing which routes to put in the
routing table, the router first compares the Rip Preference values, preferring the lowest
number. If the Rip Preference values are equal, the router compares the Metric values, using
the route with the lowest Metric. You can specify a number from 0 to 255. The default value is
100. Zero is the default for connected routes (such as the Ethernet network). The value of 255
means do not use this route.
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide
Specifies
The name of the IP route, used for indexing. You can assign any name
of 31 or fewer characters.
Whether the route has been added to the routing table. A route must be
active to affect packet routing. If Active=No, the route is ignored.
The target network's address as the destination address of a route (the
destination address in a packet). Packets destined for that host use this
static route to bring up the right connection. The zero address (0.0.0.0)
represents the default route (the destination to which packets are
forwarded when there is no route to the packet's destination).
IP address of the router or interface through which to reach the target
network.
RIP metric associated with the IP route.
Preference value of a route. RIP is a distance-vector protocol, which
uses a hop count to select the shortest route to a destination network.
OSPF is a link-state protocol, which means that OSPF can take into
account a variety of link conditions, such as the reliability or speed of
the link, when determining the best path to a destination network.
Because these two types of metrics are incompatible, the MAX
supports route preferences.
Whether the MAX will disclose the existence of this route when
queried by RIP or another routing protocol. Private routes are used
internally but are not advertised. You can specify Yes or No. The
default is No.
The cost of an OSPF link. Cost is a configurable metric that takes into
account the speed of the link and other issues. The lower the cost, the
more likely is the interface to be used to forward data traffic. (For
details, see Chapter 8, "Configuring OSPF Routing.")
The OSPF ASE type of this Link State Advertisement (LSA).
The OSPF ASE tag of this link. The tag is a 32-bit hexadecimal
number attached to each external route. The OSPF protocol does not
use the value of ASE-Tag. Border routers can use ASE-Tag to filter
this record. You can specify a 32-bit hexadecimal number.
C0:00:00:00 is the default.
