Establishing a static NIM route between networks from the command line

Edit online

Follow this procedure for establishing a static NIM route between networks from the command line.

To create a static NIM route between two networks, enter: 
nim -o change -a routingseq_no='DestinationNetworkObject \
Gateway1 Gateway2' NetworkObject

where Gateway1 is the host name of the interface that clients on NetworkObject use to get to DestinationNetworkObject, and Gateway2 is the host name that clients on DestinationNetworkObject use to get back to NetworkObject.

For example, to establish a NIM route between Network1 and Network3, enter: 
nim -o change -a routing1='Network3 gw1_tok gw1_fddi' Network1

where gw1_tok is the host name of the gateway that machines on Network1 use to communicate with machines on Network3, and gw1_fddi is the host name of the gateway that machines on Network3 use to communicate with machines on Network1.

The detailed information for the network objects now shows the added routing attributes.

To display the detailed information about the two networks, enter: 
lsnim -l Network1 Network3
The command produces output similar to the following: 
   Network1:
      class       =  networks
      type        =  tok
      net_addr    =  9.101.1.0
      snm         =  255.255.255.0
      Nstate      =  ready for use
      prev_state  =  ready for use
      routing1    =  Network3 gw1_tok

   Network3:
      class       =  networks
      type        =  fddi
      net_addr    =  9.101.3.0
      snm         =  255.255.255.0
      Nstate      =  ready for use
      prev_state  =  information is missing from this object's
                     definition
      routing1    =  Network1 gw1_fddi
