How to manage the routing table

You can manage the routing table automatically using the routed daemon, or manually using the route command. The routed daemon is enabled by default.

You should also know about circumstances that might alter the routing table automatically.

• What the routed daemon does
  The routed daemon performs several functions automatically and can be configured to perform several additional functions.
• Circumstances that might alter the routing table
  Certain circumstances can cause the routing table to be modified. You should check the table after these events occur to be sure it is still configured as required.
• Routing tables in a vFiler unit environment
  If you enable the MultiStore license, Data ONTAP disables the routed daemon. Therefore, routing tables in a vFiler unit environment must be managed manually with the route command.
