uRouteConfig
Configures a static route.
SYNOPSIS
urouteconfig
in_area domain out_area
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to configure static routes. A static route 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
port is associated with a valid minimum-cost path, all frames
coming in from the
in_area
port addressed to
domain
are forwarded through the
out_area
port. If the
out_area
port 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
part of a valid path in the future.
If a static route requires hardware resources that are already used, a platform conflict warning message
is displayed and the configuration does not take effect.
When using static routes, load sharing may be affected. The switch attempts to optimize load sharing,
but if too many routes are statically configured to use the same output port, a fair load sharing may not be
achievable.
To prevent routing loops, static route requests involving non-minimum-cost paths are not enforced.
NOTES
Static route configuration is not supported on the Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, and DCX platforms.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
in_area
Specifies the input port to be statically routed. The
in_area
parameter can refer to
either an F_Port or an E_Port.
domain
Specifies the destination domain.
out_area
Specifies the output port to which traffic is forwarded.
EXAMPLES
To configure a static route for all traffic coming in from port 1 and addressed to domain 2 to go through
port 5:
switch:admin>
urouteconfig 1 2 5
done.
switch:admin>
urouteshow 1/1 2
Local Domain ID: 1
