Is there a way to add many static routes

hsv

Hi
I need to add about 100 static routes.
I know how to do it through the GUI, but is it possible to edit a file or are the routes only included in th XML file.
If so if XML is the only way, how to do it?

@hsv
download a configuration backup (Diagnostic / Backup & Configuration)
edit with notepad++
search for staticroutes
copy/paste respecting the syntax

	<staticroutes>
		<route>
			<network>172.17.0.0/24</network>
			<gateway>OPT3_VTIV4</gateway>
			<descr><![CDATA[SRV]]></descr>
		</route>
		<route>
			<network>192.168.10.0/24</network>
			<gateway>OPT3_VTIV4</gateway>
			<descr><![CDATA[LAN]]></descr>
		</route>
	</staticroutes>

save as a new file,
restore the configuration and reboot

or use the GUI,
afaik there is no other way

Just my curiosity cat meowing at me - why? Can you not just summarize the routes?

For example route to 192.168.0/24 and 192.168.1/24 could be routed as just 192.168.0/23

If you have a lot of routes - I would try and summarize as much as possible.. Shoot you could sometimes route 100 with 1 statement, ie 192.168/16 for example..

Or run a routing protocol? So the routes are exchanged?
