The Web UI allows you to add and delete routes, and edit the source (src) IP address for existing 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.
For more information about the DSC Platform Ethernet connectivity, see Create 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.
The IPv4-mapped-IPv6 addresses are not supported on Linux.
Prerequisites
Before changing the IP addresses on the system, delete all related static routes.
Start
Click Update to get a current view of the already configured IP routes. The following IP Route Screen Fields table provides information about the attributes that should be configured.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Destination | Enter 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. Note: Contact your System Administrator for the gateway IP address. |
Prefix Length | An integer value that defines the size of the subnet and the number of ‘1’ bits in the netmask. |
Interface | Select interface from the drop-down list. |
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.
