Required attribute

Description

RouteOptions 

Specifies the routing options that are passed to the route add command when the agent configures an interface. The RouteOptions attribute value is generally formed like this: "destination gateway metric"

For details about the route command, refer to the man page for your operating system. 

When the value of this string is null, the agent does not add routes.

In this example, the agent executes the "route add 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7" command when it configures an interface.
