Modifying the routing table

About the route command

The routing table can be managed directly using the route command. The command enables you to

Add and delete routes or modify existing ones
Remove all gateways in the routing table

You can also list routes with the route -s command, which yields the same output as netstat -rn.

Note
You cannot modify the routing table using FilerView.

Modifying the routing table in a cluster environment

As in other aspects of cluster management, the routing tables of clustered storage system partners must be synchronized.

In takeover mode, each storage system in a cluster retains its own routing table. You can make changes to the routing table on the active storage system in the standard way, or you can make changes to the routing table on the failed storage system using the route command in partner mode. However, the changes you make in partner mode are lost after a giveback.
