This article describes how to add a static route on NetScaler MAS.

Instructions

In order to add a static route, you would need to modify the system routing table. To make the changes permanent, the svm.conf file would need to be edited.

1. Log in to NetScaler MAS, using an SSH client.

2. Make a backup copy of the file /mpsconfig/svm.conf using command:
   cd /mpsconfig/ cp svm.conf svm.conf.bak

3. Add the following line to the above file "route add -net 10.20.30.0/28 10.0.0.1" using the following command:
   echo "route add -net 10.20.30.0/28 10.0.0.1">> svm.conf

4. Reboot the device using command:
   reboot

5. Verify if the static route is present in the system routing table: 
   netstat -rn

Please note that the gateway address (in our case it's 10.0.0.1) must be in one of the interfaces subnets. Otherwise route will not be added and you will receive the following message:
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net 10.20.30.0: gateway 10.0.0.1: Network is unreachable
