Description

Create a routing table.

Explicitly creating a routing table with the routing-table-name statement is optional if you are not adding any static, martian, aggregate, or generated routes to the routing table and if you also are creating a routing table group. Simply including the rib-groups statement to declare that a routing table is part of a routing table group is sufficient to create it.

Default

If you do not specify a routing table name with the routing-table-name statement, the software uses the default routing tables, which are inet.0 for unicast routes and inet.1 for the multicast cache.

Options

routing-table-name—Name of the routing table, in the following format:

protocol[.identifier]

protocol is the protocol family. It can be inet6 for the IPv6 family, inet for the IPv4 family, or iso for the ISO protocol family.

identifier is a positive integer that specifies the instance of the routing table.

Default: inet.0

The remaining statements are explained separately in this chapter.
