Appendix A CONFIG Commands
Static Route Settings
A static route identifies a manually configured pathway to a remote network.
Unlike dynamic routes, which are acquired and confirmed periodically from other
routers, static routes do not time out. Consequently, static routes are useful when
working with PPP, since an intermittent PPP link may make maintenance of
dynamic routes problematic.
You can configure as many as 16 static IP routes for a Cayman Gateway. Use the
following commands to maintain static routes to the Cayman Gateway routing
table:
Specifies the network address for the static route. Enter a network address in the
net_address argument in dotted decimal format. The net_address argu-
ment cannot be 0.0.0.0.
Specifies the subnet mask for the IP network at the other end of the static route.
Enter the
netmask argument in dotted decimal format. The subnet mask associ-
ated with the destination network must represent the same network class (A, B, or
C) or a lower class (such as a class C subnet mask for class B network number) to
be valid.
Specifies the interface through which the static route is accessible.
If using a 3220-H platform the interface argument options are
{ ip-address | ppp-vccn }.
Specifies the IP address of the Gateway for the static route. The default Gateway
must be located on a network connected to the Cayman Gateway configured
interface.
Specifies the metric (hop count) for the static route. The default metric is 1. Enter
a number from 1 to 15 for the integer argument to indicate the number of rout-
ers (actual or best guess) a packet must traverse to reach the remote network.
You can enter a metric of 1 to indicate either:
• The remote network is one router away and the static route is the best way to
reach it;
