Leave Value 3 blank. For more information on adding and changing routes, see NIM Routes , Establishing a Default NIM Route Between Networks , and Establishing a Static NIM Route Between Networks . It is also possible to define NIM networks automatically when client machines are defined. For more information, see NIM Machines . It defines the gateway to use to go from one network to the other network.
NIM provides the ability to define default or static routes.
They also permit resources that are distributed throughout a NIM environment to be more easily accessed by any client in the NIM environment. To determine the gateway used by machines on a given network, run netstat -rn on a running machine on the network to see if a default gateway is listed. The first gateway listed is the gateway used by machines on the specified network. If resources are served by machines other than the master to clients that do not reside on the same network as the server, NIM routes are required between those networks even if all networks are attached to interfaces belonging to the master. Networks with default routes may be created automatically when NIM machines are being defined.
