Installing the optional B-Series iSCSI Director Blade150

Adding IP routes on a GbE port (Optional)

After defining the IP interface of the remote switch, an IP route is automatically set up. You have the

ability to define additional destination routes on an IP interface.

You can add IP routes when you want to reach the destination IP of the remote site through a

preferred gateway IP. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port. The syntax for this

command is:

portcfg iproute [slot/][ge]port args

The gateway address must be on the same IP subnet as the port IP address.

The following example shows two routes being added to an interface:

Then verify that the two routes have been successfully created:

Verifying IP connectivity

After you add the IP addresses of the routes, enter the portCmd command to ping a destination IP

address from one of your source IP interfaces on the GbE port and verify the Ethernet IP-IP

connectivity.

This verification not only ensures that data packets can be sent to the remote interface, but also aids

in creating and modifying the ARP table:.

switch:admin> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.101.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 1
