Creates the Routing entity.
The required arguments are:
o Protocols
Protocols supported by this router. The value of this argument is
a set containing either or both of the values IP or ISO8473. This
argument determines the value of the protocols characteristic.
The default value of this argument depends on the value of the
type argument.
o Type
Routing type for this node. This argument determines the value
of the type characteristic attribute.
endnode The node is an end system.
L1router The node is a level 1 router.
L2router The node is a level 2 router.
1 – Circuit
Creates a Routing Circuit entity that represents a data link to another
node. The Circuit Name is a required argument. Select the Circuit Type
radio button that describes that circuit.
Press the CONTINUE button to create the Routing Circuit entity, or press
the CANCEL button to cancel this operation. In either case, you will
return to the main window.
1.1 – Adjacency
Creates a Routing Circuit Adjacency entity for particular circuit you
have selected. A Routing Circuit Adjacency entity describes a
neighboring node that is accessible through a particular circuit.
The required arguments for this display are:
o Name
The simple name to be assigned to the adjacency.
o Endnode IDs
A set of source system IDs. To add new Endnode IDs to this set,
type the Endnode ID in the "End Node IDs to Add" field and push the
ADD button. To remove old Endnode IDs from this set, click on the
Endnode ID you wish to remove so that it becomes highlighted, then
push the REMOVE button. A scroll bar will appear to the right of
the Endnode IDs field whenever it is necessary to allow you to move
through the list of Endnode IDs.
o LAN address
The Data Link address from which the adjacency receives end
system hellos.
The optional argument is:
o Data Format
This string describes the format of the reachable address.
Press the CONTINUE button to create the Routing Circuit Adjacency entity,
or press the CANCEL button to cancel this operation. In either case, you
will return to the main window.
1.2 – ip_reachable_address
create [node node-id] routing circuit circuit-name ip reachable
address destination subnet-address
1.2.1 – Arguments
o destination subnet-address
Specifies the IP address and subnet mask to which this IP
reachable address corresponds. This argument determines the
value of the destination characteristic. Note that if the subnet
address is for an IP host, this argument also determines the
value of the next hop characteristic.
1.3 – reachable_address
create [node node-id] routing circuit circuit-name reachable
address simple-name address prefix address-prefix
1.3.1 – Arguments
o address prefix address-prefix
Address prefix to which this reachable address corresponds.
1.3.2 – Identifier
o name
Simple name assigned to the reachable address when it is created.
2 – egp_group
create [node node-id] routing egp group group-name
o name
Simple name assigned to the EGP group when it is created.
2.1 – egp_neighbor
create [node node-id] routing egp group group-name egp neighbor
neighbor-name ip address ip-address
2.1.1 – Arguments
o ip address ip-address
The IP address of the EGP neighbor.
2.1.2 – Identifier
o name
Simple name assigned to the EGP neighbor when it is created.
3 – ptd_neighbor
A Routing Permitted Neighbor entity represents a neighboring node on
a nonbroadcast circuit that is permitted to connect to this node.
The Neighbor Name and the Node ID of the permitted neighbor are
required arguments.
Press the CONTINUE button to create the Routing Permitted Neighbor entity,
or press the CANCEL button to cancel this operation. In either case, you
will return to the main window.
