Creating a Route Permission Table

You can create a route permission table with a standard text editor.

You must create a separate route permission table for each SAProuter in your network.

If no specific route permission table has been assigned to the SAProuter, ./saprouttab is used on UNIX and IBM i. File saprouttab is searched for in the working directory of SAProuter :\usr\sap\saprouter. If this file is not available, SAProuter terminates with an appropriate message.

Procedure

Create the file in the relevant directory. You can find a description of the syntax under Route Permission Table.

You can use generic entries ( *) in hosts, ports, and passwords.

You can use subnetworks in host routes as described in the following table:

Entry in the Route Permission Table	Meaning
156.56.*.*	All host addresses beginning with 156.56.
133.27.17.*	All host addresses beginning with 133.27.17
133.27.16.0/24	All host addresses beginning with 133.27.16 (0/24 at the end means that the first 24 bits are relevant, that is, the first three blocks)
156.56.1011xxxx.*	All host addresses from 156.56.176.* bis 156.56.191.*. (Binary interpretation of the third byte of the address. 'x' is a freely selectable binary value (1 or 0).)
