Static routes usage.
IBM Cloud Object Storage System™ appliances do not support any dynamic routing protocols.
Without static routes that are configured, the routing tables include only directly connected networks and the default gateway, if previously configured. As a result, IP packets that are destined for remote networks can only be forwarded to the default gateway. Depending on the customer network topology, the default gateway can be configured on any network with nut channel command.
Static routes make systems aware of the remote networks by populating their routing tables with next hop IP address for the specific remote network.
