Configuration Guide 8. Static Routing
8 Static Routing
Static routing is used when the router uses pre-defined, user-configured routing entries to
forward traffic. Static routes are usually manually configured by the network administrator
and are added to the routing table.
A Common use of static routes is for providing the gateway of a "last resort", i.e., providing
an instruction on how to forward traffic when no other route exists.
Static routes have a much lower administrative distance in the system than the dynamic
routing protocols, and in most scenarios are prioritized over the dynamic routes.
8.1 Configuring Static Routing
Command Description
Enter the data configuration menu.
(config-data)# ip route [vrf
destIP destMask [next-hop]
interface [A-distance] [track
number]
Configure a static route by specifying the
destination prefix, an output interface and
optionally a next-hop address, the metric for the
route and a tracking object and output vrf.
8.2 Example of Basic Static Route Configuration
In this example, the MSBR1 needs to reach the 10.10.10.0/24 network segment from its
LAN. The destination segment is located somewhere in the network, behind MSBR2. This
example does not include the configuration of dynamic routing. For this to configuration to
work, MSBR1 needs to be configured to forward traffic to 10.10.10.0/24 through MSBR2’s
network interface, interfacing with MSBR1, whose address is 10.0.12.20.
