Setting secondary router on Digital Alpha Server 4100

[saluki]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there would know the command or procedure in adding a secondary router in Alpha Server with OpenVMS v7.1.

I was adding a new router switch and a new VLan to the network. By doing so, I have to add the additional router IP to the Alpha Server.

With Sun system, I could add the following command...

route add -net IP1 destination [gateway [metric] ]

I was wondering if Alpha Server has similar command or function...

Saluki,

At the command prompt, type TCPIP.

At the TCPIP> prompt, type HELP SET ROUTE

This should give you enough information to
define what you require.

Saluki,

If you execute the procedure:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS

you'll find most of the Unix style TCPIP commands defined. So, the same "route add -net" you know from Unix should do the same thing on OpenVMS.

There's also a DCL style interface:

$ TCPIP SET ROUTE/NETWORK destination /GATEWAY=host[/PERMENENT]

Saluki,

On VMS 7.1 you probably have UCX instead of the newer TCPIP. So replace TCPIP with UCX in Davids and Johns commands.
The Unix style commands are not available in UCX. But you can learn about seting routes with:

$ UCX
UCX> HELP SET ROUTE
