ip static-route
Creates/deletes an IP static route. Static routes are user-defined; they carry a higher priority than routes
created by dynamic routing protocols. That is, static routes always have priority over dynamic routes,
regardless of the metric value.
ip static-route ip_address [mask mask] gateway gateway [metric metric]
no ip static-route ip_address [mask mask] gateway ip_address [metric metric]
Syntax Definitions
ip_address Destination IP address of the static route.
mask Subnet mask corresponding to the destination IP address.
gateway ip_address IP address of the next hop used to reach the destination IP address.
metric Metric or cost (hop count) for the static route. You can set a priority for
the static route by assigning a metric value. The lower the metric value,
the higher the priority. Valid range is 1–15.

Usage Guidelines
• Static routes do not age out of the routing tables; however, they can be deleted. Use the no form of this
command to delete a static route.
• A static route is not active unless the gateway it is using is active.
• The subnet mask is not required if you want to use the natural subnet mask. By default, the switch
imposes a natural mask on the IP address.
• Use the ip static-route command to configure default route. For example, to create a default route
through gateway 171.11.2.1, you would enter: ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway
171.11.2.1.
Examples
-> ip static-route 171.11.1.1 gateway 171.11.2.1
-> ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 171.11.2.1
