Configuring Static Routes and Services
A static route is a RIP route that is added to a router's Routing Information
Table by a network administrator rather than by the active routing protocol—
in this case, RIP—operating over a network link. With Novell Internet Access
Server 4.1, you can configure static routes and services for both permanent
and on-demand calls.
A permanent call is a connection that remains active between the local router
and the remote router identified by the call destination. An on-demand call is
a point-to-point connection between two routers that becomes active only
when one router must send user data to the router at the other end. On-demand
calls are well-suited for connections that use expensive telecommunications
carriers and for slow links over which it is undesirable to send routing and
service traffic. For more information about permanent and on-demand calls,
refer to
“Call Types” on page 25 .
You can configure static routes and services with the following utilities:
Š
NIASCFG —With NIASCFG, you must configure all routes and
services manually. To activate the configuration on both routers, you
select Reinitialize System from the Internetworking Configuration menu.
Use NIASCFG to set up WAN call destinations at each end of the
connection and configure static routes and services.
Š STATICON —The static route and service configuration utility for IPX.
STATICON uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to
discover which routes and services are available through a remote router
and adds them to the static routing table on a local router.
Before configuring static routes and services with STATICON, you must
use NIASCFG to set up the WAN call destinations and activate the
configuration by selecting Reinitialize System . You then load
STATICON and configure the static routes and services on the routers.
STATICON configures all routes and services on each router
