Default Gateway

You need to set a default route for the xSeries system so that it knows how to communicate with your network. Choose an address on a router that is accessible to your management hosts and, while in config mode, enter the ip route command:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.6.3
 

 

This configures a static route for the management module. To avoid routing conflicts (see Static Routes in Appendix D: Migrating Configurations Between Models of the CNA Appendices Guide), you should also enter engine configuration mode and define a static route for the engine module, as well.

From config mode, enter engine configuration mode:

module engine
 

 

Now create another static route, to match up with the up address your network administrator has chosen for the engine module (use the ip next-hop for a gateway router that is local to the engine’s subnet):

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.6.4
