Purpose

This procedure describes the steps to add, modify, or delete static routes from a Lucent CM application node or universal node to an external server. Static routes ensure routes are available from each application server to each external server.

When to perform

Perform this procedure when you want to define static routes to servers that are external to the Lucent CM system.

The following servers are examples of external servers:

Servers that provide services. For example:

Call Servers

Voice mail servers

Servers that provide OAM&P related services. For example:

OMC-P

Important! Do not use this procedure to define routes between Lucent CM nodes that are on different subnets. For example in a geographically redundant Lucent CM configuration.

Static routes per Lucent CM system

You must define the static route data lists per Lucent CM system, not per Lucent CM server.

For example: There are Lucent CM application servers on different locations. Each application server uses a different gateway to reach external servers. The Static Route data lists must contain entries for all gateways.

Processing of the static routes data list

When the administrator updates or saves the static routes data list:

The static routes data list is sent to all application nodes or universal nodes of the Lucent CM system.

The nodes remove the existing routes from their route tables

The nodes processes the list. Processing steps are:

Check if routes are already available. If so, no action is performed for these routes.

For each destination, check if a route to the related gateway is already available. If so, a route command is generated for the destination via the gateway.

Create route commands for the remaining missing destinations.

Static route parameters

The static route parameters:

Parameter	Description
`Destination IP address`	The IP address of the destination of the static route.
`Enabled`	Check mark to enable or disable the static route.
`Netmask`	The netmask of the static route.
`Network` `Host`	Radio buttons to select the purpose of the route. When you select Host, then `netmask` is set to 255.255.255.255
`Gateway IP`	IP address of the gateway.
`Description`	A description for the static route.

Before you begin

Important! Verify correctness of static routes before you configure the static routes.

Consult with the network administrator to determine the proper static routes. Configuring incorrect static routes can result in failures to reach external servers and thus in service failures or failures in OAM&P.

Add, modify, or delete a static route

Perform the following steps to add, modify, or delete a static route:

At the Lucent CM Explorer tree view, click Lucent CM System and click the Static Route Data tab.

If...	then...
you want to add a static route,	Click Add Continue with Step 3.
you want to modify a static route,	Select a route Click Edit Continue with Step 3.
you want to delete a static route,	Select a route Click Delete Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box. End of Procedure

Configure the Static Route Data parameters.

Click Add or Update to save the Static Route Data.

Result: The Static Route Data list is updated to show the changes you made.

Click Apply to apply the Static Route Data.

Result: The Static Route Data list is sent out to the database and the application nodes and universal nodes for processing.

End of steps
