The Web UI allows add, 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 CPU cards (with the exception of the Ethernet interface that is shared between the Management CPU cards in slots 2 and 13) as long as the Ethernet interface to which you are adding the IP route is configured.

The shared Ethernet interfaces p19p1.3:0 and p19p2.5:0 are aliases for the shared IP address on Ethernet interfaces p19p1.3 and p19p2.5, respectively.

Adding a IP route on p19p1.3 and p19p2.5 adds the respective route on all Management CPU cards.

Adding a IP route on p19p1.2 and p19p2.4 adds the respective route on all Routing and Application CPUs.

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. 

The following table lists and describes the fields on the Route screen.

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 DSC 8000.

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 IPNetworking.

  2. Click Routes.

  3. Using the Kernel IP Routing Table on drop-down list for IPv4 or IPv6 as required, select the CPU or CPUs for which you want to add a IP route.

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

Do one of the following:

  1. If you are adding an IP Route on a Management CPUs (p19p1.3 and p19p2.5), configure the required attributes for the new route and click Add.

  2. If you want to add an IP route on all Routing and Application CPUs (p19p1.2 and p19p2.4), 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 or Application CPU (p19p1.2 and p19p2.4), 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 delete a IP route, click Delete in the same line in which the IP route you want to delete appears.

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 CPU.

  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.

  7. Click Save.
