Setting Static Routes
3-26
PortMaster Configuration Guide
•
Ticks
—The time required to send the packet to its destination. Ticks are measured
in 50ms increments.The ticks metric is used in addition to the hops metric only on
IPX networks.
Note –
Never set the gateway for the PortMaster to an address on the same PortMaster;
the gateway must be on another router.
Use the following commands to add a static route for IPX:
Command>
add route
Ipxnetwork
Ipxaddress
Metric Ticks
Command>
save all
Use the following commands to delete a static route for IPX:
Command>
delete route
Ipxnetwork
Ipxaddress
Command>
save all
Use the following command to set a static default route for all IPX packets not routed by
a more specific route:
Command>
set ipxgateway
Network
|
Node Metric
Note –
You can delete only static routes.
Modifying the Static Netmask Table
The netmask table is provided to allow routes advertised by RIP to remain uncollapsed
on network boundaries in cases where you want to break a network into noncontiguous
subnets. The PortMaster normally collapses routes on network boundaries as described
in RFC 1058. However, in certain circumstances where you do not want to collapse
routes, the netmask table is available.
Note –
Do not use the static netmask table unless you thoroughly understand and need
its function. In most circumstances its use is
not
necessary. Very large routing updates
can result from too much use of the netmask table, adversely affecting performance. In
most cases it is easier to use OSPF instead of using the netmask table and RIP. Lucent
strongly recommends you use OSPF if you require noncontiguous subnets or variable-
length subnet masks (VLSMs).
