[Xorp-users] Static route configuration

Jake,

You need to configure the network interfaces that are going to be
used by XORP (the "interfaces {}" configuration section).

Also, in your case you should enable the unicast forwarding as well:
fea {
    unicast-forwarding4 {
        disable: false
    }
}


Regards,
Pavlin
