Configuring Static Routes
Static routes are commonly used to specify routes to IP addresses via gateways other than the default.
A default gateway is specified when you configure Equalizer via the eqadmin character based interface. If you need
to access systems on a subnet that cannot be reached via this gateway, then you need to specify a static route to those
systems through the gateway for that subnet.
Static routes on Equalizer are specified using the browser-based Administration Interface. Static routes can also be
defined from the command line via the serial interface, but we recommend you use the browser interface exclusively
to manage static routes on Equalizer. The interface manages changes to the
/var/etc/rc.conf-eq file for you, and
updates Equalizer’s routing tables (displayed using the netstat -nr shell command) as you add and delete them.
Adding a Static Route
1. Log into the Administrative Interface using a login that has
add/del
access for global parameters (see “Logging
In” on page 52).
2. Select
Equalizer > Networking > Static Routes

Figure 20 The static routes screen
The table contains the following information for each configured static route on the system:
Name An identifier for the route.
Type
Either host to specify a route to a host address,
or net to specify an address for a subnet.
Network
The IP address for the host or subnet. Can be
specified as a Classless Internet Domain
Routing (CIDR) address to specify a netmask;
for example: 192.168.1.0/24.
Gateway
The IP address of the gateway used to reach
the host or subnet.
