    I just checked, and there is an internal function to do this, so it
    should be simple to add it to the menu.

    However, I don't know whether any new features will be permitted to
    go into the current release, so you might have to wait for V2.5.

    Good news,
    
     do you have timeframe for V2.5 avaibility ?

    No, although I'd guess summer at the earliest.

    Also, the menu and the current CLI will go away, to be replaced by a
    new CLI.  So I should have said "command" instead of "menu item".

I found a few "hidden commands" in the current switch software that may help:


ATMswitch-> netHelp
...
routeAdd     "destaddr","gateaddr" - add route to route table
routeDelete  "destaddr","gateaddr" - delete route from route table
routeShow                          - print current route table
...


ATMswitch-> routeShow

ROUTE NET TABLE
destination      gateway          flags  Refcnt  Use           Interface
------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.0.0.0         16.22.1.111      1      1       388           sn0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROUTE HOST TABLE
destination      gateway          flags  Refcnt  Use           Interface
------------------------------------------------------------------------
127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1        5      1       19            lo0
------------------------------------------------------------------------
value = 73 = 0x49 = 'I'


The main drawback I can see to these commands is that they do not store the
information you enter in NVRAM.  You'd need to reconfigure the gateway each
time you rebooted the switch.

/******************************************************************************\
*
*
* routeAdd - add a route
*
* This routine adds gateways to the network routing tables.
* It is called from a VxWorks machine that needs
* to establish a gateway to a destination network (or machine).
*
* Both <destination> and <gateway> can be specified
* in standard Internet address format (e.g., 90.0.0.2) or by their
* host names, as specified by hostAdd().
*
* EXAMPLE
* The call:
* .CS
*     routeAdd ("90.0.0.0", "gate")
* .CE
* tells VxWorks that the machine with the host name "gate" is the gateway to
* network 90.0.0.0.  The host "gate" must already have been created by
* hostAdd.
*
* The call:
* .CS
*     routeAdd ("90.0.0.0", "91.0.0.3")
* .CE
* tells VxWorks that the machine with the Internet address 91.0.0.3 is the
* gateway to network 90.0.0.0.
*
* The call:
* .CS
*     routeAdd ("destination", "gate")
* .CE
* tells VxWorks that the machine with the host name "gate" is the gateway to
* the machine named "destination".  The host names "gate" and
* "destination" must have already been created by hostAdd().
*
* The call:
* .CS
*     routeAdd ("0", "gate")
* .CE
* tells VxWorks that the machine with the host name "gate" is the default
* gateway.  The host "gate" must already have been created by hostAdd().
* A default gateway is where IP datagrams are routed when there is no
* specific routing table entry available for the destination IP network or host\
.
*
* RETURNS: OK or ERROR.

     just to my mind, how to know all Hidden commands ?
