uRouteConfig uRouteConfig Configure a static route. Synopsis uRouteConfig InArea Domain OutArea Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command to configure static routes. A static route is a route that is assigned to a specific path, and will not change when a topology change occurs, unless the path used by the route becomes unavailable. After this command is issued, and if OutArea is a usable port, all frames coming in from InArea port addressed to Domain will be forwarded through OutArea port. If OutArea port is not usable, then the routing assignment is not affected by this command. When OutArea port becomes usable again, the static route assignment for InArea is enforced. OutArea port is usable if it is on a minimum cost path to the destination domain. InArea port can be either an F_Port or an E_Port. Note: When using static routes, load sharing may be affected. The switch attempts to achieve optimum load sharing, but if too many routes are statically configured to use the same output port, a fair load sharing may not be achievable. In order to prevent routing loops, a static route configuration using a non-minimum cost path is not allowed. If an attempt is made to configure such a route, the user is queried on whether or not the entry should be saved in the database. Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide 875
