Goal

Policy Route Statements Now Support "Network" Destinations

Fix

The network policy route statement command has been updated in SL3000 4.0 code and SL8500 8.05 code as follows:

The policy route configuration commands were extended to support network destination routes instead of only host destination routes.
Here is the new command syntax for the network CLI command (this is from the CLI "help network"):

SL8500> network ip policy route <add|del> <IP_address[/netmask]> dev <device>

Add or Delete static route to policy for device 2A or 2B

The ability to specify the netmask within this command is the new addition.

Examples:

network ip policy route add 192.168.2.45 dev 2B (this defines a single host destination - only command available pre-4.0/8.05 codes)

network ip policy route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev 2B (this defines a network destination from 192.168.2.0 through 192.168.2.255)

network ip policy route add 192.168.2.0/26 dev 2B (this defines a network destination from 192.168.2.0 through 192.168.2.63)

network ip policy route add 192.168.2.64/26 dev 2B (this defines a network destination from 192.168.2.64 through 192.168.2.127)

Note: Valid network subnet beginning and ending addresses must be used as appropriate for the specified netmask.
