NAME

ntx_route − manually manipulate the MVME339 routing tables

SYNOPSIS

ntx_route [ −fn ] [ −d device ] [ { add | delete } [ host | net ] { destination | default } gateway ]

DESCRIPTION

Ntx_route manually manipulates the network routing tables on the MVME339 controller. 
 
Destination is the destination host or network; gateway is the network gateway to which packets should be addressed. 
 
The add command adds a route to destination; the delete command deletes a route. 
 
Routes to a particular host must be distinguished from those to a network. The optional keywords net and host force destination to be interpreted as a network or a host, respectively.  If the optional keywords are not given, destination is assumed to be a route to a network if it has a local address part of IFADDR_ANY; otherwise, it is assumed to be a route to a host. 
 
Default is available for gateways to use after all other routes have been attempted (the destination is set to INADDR_ANY). 

OPTIONS

−dSet the MVME339 raw device file name.  This option will override the default MVME339 device name of /dev/xedt/mvme338_c0. 

−fFlush the routing tables of all gateway entries.  If this is used in conjunction with one of the commands described above, ntx_route flushes the gateways before performing the command. 

−nPrevents attempts to print host and network names symbolically when reporting actions. 

EXAMPLES

Add destination to the routing table:

 ntx_route add destination gateway
