configure iproute add (Multicast)

configure iproute add [ipNetmask | ip_addr mask] gateway {bfd} {metric} {multicast | multicast-only | unicast | unicast-only} {vr vrname}

Description

Adds a static route to the routing table.

Syntax Description

ipNetmask Specifies an IP address/mask length.
ip_addr Specifies an IP address.
mask Specifies a subnet mask.
gateway Specifies a This command is available on the ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X450-G2, X460-G2, X465, X590, X620, X670-G2, X690, X695, X870, 5320, 5420, 5520 series switches. gateway.
bfd Enables Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protection for the IPv6 route.
metric Specifies a cost metric.
vrname Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added.
multicast Adds the specified route to the multicast routing table.
multicast-only Adds the specified route to the multicast routing table. This option is provided for backward compatibility with releases prior to ExtremeXOS 12.1.
unicast Adds the specified route to the unicast routing table.
unicast-only Adds the specified route to the unicast routing table. This option is provided for backward compatibility with releases prior to ExtremeXOS 12.1.

Default

If you do not specify a virtual router, the current virtual router context is used.

Usage Guidelines

Use a mask value of 255.255.255.255 to indicate a host entry.

Note

Note

Although dynamic unicast routes can be captured in the multicast routing table, unicast static routes cannot be captured in the multicast routing table. To create a static route for the multicast routing table, you must specify the multicast option.

Example

The following example adds a static address to the multicast routing table:

configure iproute add 10.1.1.0/24 123.45.67.1 5 multicast

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.

The multicast and unicast keywords were first available in ExtremeXOS 12.1. These keywords replace multicast-only and unicast-only, which remain in the software for backward compatibility.
