Configuring IP routes and preferences
The IP routing table contains routes that are configured (static routes) and routes that are
learned dynamically from routing protocols such as RIP or OSPF. The following example
shows the parameters for configuring static routes:
Ethernet
Static Rtes
Name=route-name
Active=Yes
Dest=10.2.3.0/24
Gateway=10.2.3.4
Metric=2
Preference=100
Private=No
Ospf=Cost=1
ASE-type=Type1
ASE=tag=c0000000
Ethernet

Rip Preference-100
RipAseType-Type2
Rip Tag=c8000000
OSPF Preference=10
OSPF ASE Preference=150
Understanding the static route parameters
This section provides some background information about static routes. For more information
about each parameter, see the MAX Reference Guide.
Route names
IP routes are indexed by name. You can assign any name of less than 31 characters.
Activating a route
A route must be active to affect packet routing. If Active = No, the route is ignored.
Route’s destination address
The destination address of a route is the target network (the destination address in a packet).
Packets destined for that host will use this static route to bring up the right connection. The
zero address (0.0.0.0) represents the default route (the destination to which packets are
forwarded when there is no route to the packet’s destination).
