Starts dynamic routing with ROUTED or GATED. If you want to change from one to the other, you must stop the current dynamic routing daemon then start the desired daemon. You cannot run both GATED and ROUTED at the same time. Related commands: STOP ROUTING, SET GATED Format START ROUTING [/GATED ] [ /LOG ] [ /SUPPLY[=DEFAULT] ]
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /GATED
Optional. Enables the gateway routing daemon (GATED). If you enable dynamic GATED routing, you will be able to configure this host to use any combination of the following routing protocols to exchange dynamic routing information with other hosts on the network: o RIP (Routing Information Protocol), Versions 1 and 2 o RDISC (Router Discovery Protocol) o OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) o EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol) o BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), BGP-4 o Static routes
1.2 /SUPPLY
/SUPPLY[=DEFAULT] Optional. Applies only to ROUTED. Do not use with /GATED. Broadcasts routing information to other hosts in 30-second intervals. If you specify /SUPPLY=DEFAULT, the local host supplies the default network route.
1.3 /LOG
Optional. Applies to ROUTED. Do not use with /GATED. Logs routing activity to SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$ROUTED]TCPIP$ROUTED.LOG. Default: No logging.
2 – Examples
1.TCPIP> START ROUTING /GATED Starts GATED dynamic routing on the running system. 2.TCPIP> START ROUTING Interactively starts ROUTED dynamic routing on the running system. 3.TCPIP> START ROUTING /SUPPLY Immediately starts ROUTED dynamic routing. The local host both broadcasts and receives network routing information.
