Default route for Route Domain

Posted By EllisD on 10/14/2009 06:06 AM:

 

 

route any%1 {

 

gateway 10.0.41.1

 

}

 

 

Results in an error "01070330:3: Static route gateway 10.0.41.1 is not directly connected via an interface."

 

 

It does allow me to add the route as:

 

 

route any%1 {

 

gateway 10.0.41.1%1

 

}

 

 

But it doesn't appear to work. The documentation on page 10-13 of the "TMOS Management Guide" says that you *don't* need to append "%X" prefix when specifying the gateway for a default route.

Looking at "Adding a standard route for a route domain" section of above document: "If the route you are adding pertains to a partition default route domain, you do not need to indicate the relevant route domain in the route’s IP addresses (using the %ID notation). If the route you are adding pertains to a route domain other than the partition default route domain, you must include the relevant route domain ID."

 

 

So, the way I read it is if the default route domain, is specified within partition definition, using "partition name default rd id", then any route you define in this partition without %ID will apply to that route domain.

 

 

However, since there can be more than one route domain within a partition to define route for those which isn't default route domain, you'll need to specify %ID.
