Create a cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped static route

Contributors

POST /network/ip/routes

Introduced In: 9.6

Creates a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped static route.

Required properties

  • gateway - IP address to route packets to.

  • SVM-scoped routes

    • svm.name or svm.uuid - SVM that route is applied to.

  • cluster-scoped routes

    • There are no additional required fields for Cluster-scoped routes.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned:

  • destination - 0.0.0.0/0 for IPv4 or ::/0 for IPv6.

  • ipspace.name

    • Default for Cluster-scoped routes.

    • Name of the SVM's IPspace for SVM-scoped routes.

  • metric - 20.

  • network route create

Parameters

_links

_links

destination

ip_info

IP information

gateway

string

The IP address of the gateway router leading to the destination.

interfaces

array[interfaces]

IP interfaces on the same subnet as the gateway.

ipspace

ipspace

Applies to both SVM and cluster-scoped objects. Either the UUID or name may be supplied on input.

metric

integer

Indicates a preference order between several routes to the same destination. With typical usage, the default metrics provided are adequate, there is no need to specify a metric in the route creation.

scope

string

Set to "svm" for interfaces owned by an SVM. Otherwise, set to "cluster".

svm

svm

Applies only to SVM-scoped objects. Either the UUID or name must be supplied.

uuid

string

The UUID that uniquely identifies the route.

1966265

The destination and gateway must belong to the same IP address family.

1966345

The destination.address is missing.

1967081

The specified SVM must exist in the specified IPspace.

1967082

The specified ipspace.uuid and ipspace.name refer to different IPspaces.

1967146

The specified svm.name is not valid.

2621462

The specified SVM does not exist.

2621574

This operation is not permitted on an SVM that is configured as the destination of a MetroCluster SVM relationship.

2621706

The specified UUID and name refer to different SVMs.
