Re: [FW1] Nokia - adding MANY routes

Mark,

All IPSO configuration is stored in the /config/active file (symlink to
/config/db/initial). It is a text file with very understandable format. Once
I had a task of adding 100+ proxy-arp settings to the box and was able to
write a short script in 15 minutes that did the trick.
I copied the "initial" file to /tmp added an arp entry and looking at the
difference between the new config and a snapshot wrote a script to simulate
many more additional entries. In your case the only difference would be
playing with static routes and not the ARPs.
