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. Operands This command has the following operands: in_area domain out_area Specify the port to be statically routed. Specify the destination domain. Specify the output port to which traffic is forwarded. Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide 737
