Reference Design

[Petcharat Suriyachai]

After you run the "NetApp_GigInit" function, you have to add your route
entries to the route table using the command 
route_add(char *ipda, char *netmask, char *next_hop, int fwd_port, int
da_hi32, int da_lo16).

For example, if your traffic generator has
ip address: 192.168.1.162 
ethernet address: 00:50:BA:40:62:28.
The output port is 1.

You should enter:
route_add("192.168.1.162", "255.255.255.255", "", 1, 0x50ba40, 0x6228);

Other useful commands are "rt_help()" and "route_lookup(char *ipda)."

Hope this helps.
