Configure a Static Route to the NSM Server
Purpose
When your M Series or MX Series device and the NSM server are in different subnets, you can install a static route on the device to connect to the NSM server. The static route is installed in the routing table only when the route is active; that is, the list of next-hop routers configured for that route contains at least one next hop on an operational interface.
Action
To configure a static route, follow these steps:
- Log on to the M Series or MX Series device and, in configuration
mode, go to the following hierarchy level:[edit]user@host# edit routing-options
- Configure a static route to the NSM server with the retain option so that the static route remains in the forwarding
table when the routing protocol process shuts down normally:[edit routing-options]user@host# set static route destination-prefix next-hop address retain
- Configure the no-readvertise option so that
the route is not eligible for readvertisement by dynamic routing protocols:[edit routing-options]user@host# set static route destination-prefix next-hop address no-readvertise
- Verify the configuration:user@host# show
- Commit the configuration:user@host# commit
- Verify the connection to the NSM server:user@host# run ping destination

--- 192.193.60.181 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.304/13.828/23.050/9.771 ms
Meaning
The sample output shows that a static route (192.193.60.181/32) to the NSM server is configured and committed, and that there is a connection between the router and the server because the ping command shows that three packets were transmitted and received.
