uRouteConfig
Configures a static route.
Synopsis
urouteconfig in_area domain out_area
Availability
admin
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), 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 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 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.
NOTE: 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 out_area port, a
fair load sharing might not be achievable.
To prevent routing loops, static route requests involving non-minimum-cost paths are not enforced.
