Connectionless Network Services (CLNS) is an ISO Layer 3 protocol that uses network service access point (NSAP) reachability information instead of IPv4 prefixes. You can configure a static route for CLNS networks.
![]() |
Note: CLNS is supported for J-series Services Routers only. |
To configure a CLNS static route, include the following statements:
-
rib (iso.0 | instance-name.iso.0)
-
static {
-
- route nsap-prefix {
- next-hop (interface-name | iso-net);
-
-
qualified-next-hop (interface-name | iso-net) {
-
metric metric;
-
preference preference;
- }
- }
- }
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can configure these statements, see the CLNS statement summary sections in the J-series Services Router Advanced WAN Access Configuration Guide.
Specify the iso.0 routing table option to configure a primary instance CLNS static route. Specify the instance-name.iso.0 routing table option to configure CLNS static route for a particular routing instance. Specify the route nsap-prefix statement to configure the destination for the CLNS static route. Specify the next-hop (interface-name | iso-net) statement to configure the next hop, specified as an ISO network entity title (NET) or interface name. Specify the qualified-next-hop (interface-name | iso-net) statement to configure the qualified next hop, specified as an ISO network entity title or interface name.
Configure a static CLNS route with an NSAP of 47.0005.80ff.f800.0000.ffff.ffff:
- [edit]
- routing-options {
-
- rib iso.0 {
-
- static {
- iso-route 47.0005.80ff.f800.0000.ffff.ffff next-hop 47.0005.80ff.f800.0000.0108.0001.1921.6800.4212;
- iso-route 47.0005.80ff.f800.0000.0108.0001.1921.6800.4212
next-hop t1-0/2/2.0;
