Configuring Routes With CLI
The following procedures give examples for using the CLI utility for configuring default, host and
network routes and assigning them to interfaces or to gateways.
NOTE: Setting a gateway IP address automatically creates a default route to the gateway’s IP address.
To configure routes with CLI:
1. Log into the console as root .
2. Enter the
cli
command.
3. Set network interface by entering the following:
cli> set network interface <interface_name> address <IP_address>
OK
4. Set a default route by setting a gateway IP address by entering the following:
cli> set network interface <interface_name> gateway <gatewayIP>
OK
5. Add a host in the host table by entering the host’s IP address after the add network
hosts
command.
cli> add network hosts <hostIP> name <hostname> alias <alias>
6. Add a network route by entering the network address after the
add network st_routes
command in the form 1.2.3.0/24.
cli> add network st_routes <networkIP/NN>
OK
7. For both host and network routes, use the
set network st_routes
command to assign the route
to an interface or to a gateway and optionally assign it a metric, by performing the
following steps.
To assign the route to an interface, enter set network st_routes <IPaddress |
networkIPaddress/NN> device <ethN>
. The following screen example shows assigning the
host route created in step 5 to the device eth0 and assigning an optional metric.
cli> set network st_routes <IPaddress|networkIPaddress/NN> device eth0
metric <N>
OK
-or-
To assign the route to a gateway, enter
set network st_routes <IPaddress |
networkIPaddress/NN> gateway <gatewayIP>
. The following screen example shows
assigning the network route created in step 6 to the gateway 192.168.2.0.
