hi;

 

i'm talking about the static route that can be including in the Unix file:

 

"route-eth0" for exemple.

 

i know how to add static root using F5 web interface.

 

 

can i have an exemple of a static route for this file and how can these new routes take effect without rebooting?

 

thanks.

sure you can add this is the file, but don't do this, first you can add via GUI, if not you can edit the /config/bigip.conf file and add the:

 

"route 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

 

gateway w.x.y.z

 

}

 

if its an mgmt route than you can add it from /config/bigip_base.conf:

 

mgmt route 1.2.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

 

gateway w.x.y.z

 

or from console you can use the "b mgmt route add" and do b base save

 

this will work for you.

 

i forgot be sure to do b load after the changes

This is a little late, but maybe it will be useful for future visits. The below is a host specific route example.

 

The file syntax for the route-eth0 file would be:

 

ADDRESS0=10.10.10.10

 

NETMASK0=255.255.255.255

 

GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1

 

 

This assumes that you eth0 interface is on the 192.168.1.0 network.
