Urouteconfig - HP StorageWorks 8B - FC Entry Switch Reference Manual

uRouteConfig

Configure a static route.
Synopsis
uRouteConfig port, domain, outputport
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is assigned a specific path; the path does
not change with a topology change unless the path becomes unavailable.
After this command is issued, and if outputport is a usable port, all frames coming in from a
specified port addressed to the specified domain are routed through the specified
outputport.
If outputport is not usable, the routing assignment is not affected. When outputport
becomes usable the static route assignment for the port is enforced.
outputport is usable if the associated neighbor associated is in NB_ST_FULL state. See
interfaceShow for more information.
Using static routes can affect load sharing. If a large number of routes are statically configured to
the same output port, the ability of the switch to achieve optimum load sharing may be impaired.
To prevent routing loops, static route configuration using a non-minimum cost path is not allowed.
If you attempt to configure such a route, you are asked if the entry should be saved in the database.
