The Web UI allows add and delete routes, and edit the source (src) IP address for existing routes.

Caution

Before changing the IP addresses on the system, delete all related static routes.

You can add IP routes to any of the Ethernet interfaces on any of the VMs (with the exception of the Ethernet interface that is shared between the Routing and Management VM1 and VM2) as long as the Ethernet interface to which you are adding the IP route is configured.

Adding an IP route on mgt0 or mgt1 adds the respective route on all Routing and Management VMs.

Adding a IP route on pkt0, pkt1, pkt2, and pkt3 adds the respective route on all Routing VMs. 

For more information about the DSC PlatformEthernet connectivity, see Creating an IP Plan on the KVM Hypervisor and Creating IP Plan on the VMware ESXi.

Any IP routes that you add through the Web UI are stored in the /etc/sysconfig/static-routes file or /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 file. 

IP Route Screen Field Listing and Description

 
FieldDescription
DestinationEnter the address on the remote system.
Gateway

Enter the gateway IP address to use for your particular interface. The IP address of the gateway (that is router, and others) is the first hop to the IP network for that Ethernet interface on the local system.

Contact your System Administrator for the gateway IP address.

Prefix LengthAn integer value that defines the size of the subnet and the number of ‘1’ bits in the netmask.
InterfaceSelect interface from the drop-down list.

To add an IP route

  1. From the Main Menu, click IP Networking.

  2. Click Routes.

  3. Using the Kernel IP Routing Table on drop-down list for IPv4 or IPv6, select a Routing and Management VM or Routing VM to which you want to add an IP route.



  4. Click Update to get a current view of the already configured IP routes.

  5. Do one of the following:
    1. If you are adding an IP Route on a Routing and Management VM (mgt0 or mgt1), configure the required attributes for the new route and click Add.

    2. If you want to add an IP route on all Routing VMs (pkt0, pkt1, pkt2, and pkt3), configure the attributes as required for the new route and click Add.

    3. If you want to add an IP route only on a specific Routing VM (pkt0, pkt1, pkt2, and pkt3), configure the attributes as required and click Add to Selected.

      For information about the attributes that should be configured, see Table IP Route Screen Field Listing.

To edit a route's source IP

  1. From the Main Menu, click IP Networking.

  2. Click Routes.

  3. Using the Kernel IP Routing Table on drop-down list, select the required VM.

  4. Click Update to get a current view of the already configured IP routes.

  5. Click Edit of the route for which you want to edit the source file.

  6. Using the Src drop-down list, select the required IP address.
