Static Routes in VS

[Matlu]

Hello,
Is there a way to create many static routes by a script for a VSX environment?
We have quite a large list of static routes that we need to create in some instances (VS) of our VSX Cluster, and we want to know if we can use some “automated” to accomplish this task.
Thanks for your recommendations.

Maybe script like below?

#!/bin/bash

# Set the VSID you want to configure
VSID=3
vsenv $VSID

# Define your routes as destination/gateway/interface
ROUTES=(
"10.0.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 eth1"
"10.0.2.0/24 192.168.1.2 eth2"
"10.0.3.0/24 192.168.1.3 eth3"
)

for ROUTE in "${ROUTES[@]}"; do
set -- $ROUTE
DEST=$1
GW=$2
IFACE=$3

clish -c "add static-route $DEST nexthop gateway address $GW on interface $IFACE"
done

clish -c "save config"

Static routes are not configurable (supported) via CLI for VSX locally on the gateway, this information is deployed via Management.

Also one of the advantages of VSnext was API parity.

Im pretty positive you can (I had done it before), but cant recall exactly how...had to do some changes via vsx_provisioning_tool on mgmt first.

So, there is no “automated” way to accomplish this task?

You can only manually (1x1) configure the routes through the SmartConsole?

[Chris_Atkinson]

There is no API only the vsx_provisioning_tool (which you can use in batches) that I posted a link to that is run from the Mgmt.

Definitely no API bro.

Nope, the only correct way is to set routes on the MGMT side. VSX provisioning tool is the answer, if you want to set many routes.

Explore the Vsx provisioning tool on MGMT i.e.
