uRouteConfig

uRouteConfig
Configures a static route.
Synopsis urouteconfig in_area domain out_area
Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is assigned to a specific path (defined
by port number out_area) and 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 port is associated with a valid minimum-cost path, all
frames coming in from the in_area port addressed to domain are forwarded through the out_area
port. If the 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 part of a valid path in the future.
If a static route requires hardware resources that are already used, a platform conflict warning
message is displayed and the configuration does not take effect.
When using static routes, load sharing may be affected. The switch attempts to optimize load
sharing, but if too many routes are statically configured to use the same output port, a fair load
sharing may not be achievable.
To prevent routing loops, static route requests involving non-minimum-cost paths are not enforced.
Notes Static route configuration is not supported on the Brocade 300, 4900, 5100, 5300, 7500, 7600,
and DCX platforms. On the Brocade 48000, Static route configuration is not supported on Brocade
directors set to chassis configuration option 5 by chassisConfig.
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer
to chapter 1, "Understanding Admin Domain Restrictions" and Appendix A, "Command Availability"
for details.
