2 To assign an IP route to a gateway, use:
Add -IP ROUte <gateway IP address> <!metric>
For example, to set an IP route to gateway 111.222.333.444, enter:
SETDefault -IP ROUte 111.222.333.444 1
This section describes how to access the menu-driven and command-line
user interfaces. Detailed information for both types of interfaces is
provided so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
After you have configured the IP address of the PathBuilder switch, you
can access the user interface using one of the following methods:
Telnet to the switch from a device (for example, a workstation) on the
same extended network or internetwork.
Use the embedded HTTP server, Web Link, which provides
performance and health monitoring graphs, task-based configuration,
and diagnostics.
Use Transcend Network Control Services, which provides extensive
management capabilities for use from a network management
station.
Use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to view and
configure a subset of the parameters from a remote host. For
information on preparing the switch to run SNMP, see Using
Enterprise OS Software.
After you have accessed the user interface, you need to decide whether
to use the menu-driven or the command-line interface.
If you are unsure of the command syntax, use the menu-driven
interface.
For more information about the MEnu command, see Reference for
Enterprise OS Software. For information on how to use the
menu-driven interface, see the next section.
If you know the exact syntax, enter the command at the system
prompt.
The syntax for each command and parameter is described in
Reference for Enterprise OS Software.
