Conguring a static IP route
To congure an IP static route with a destination address of 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router IP address of 10.1.1.1, enter a
command such as the following.
device(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
To congure a static IP route with an Ethernet port instead of a next-hop address, enter a command such as the following.
device(config)# ip route 10.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 ethernet 1/4/1
The command in the previous example
congures a static IP route for destination network 10.128.2.69/24. Since an Ethernet port is
specied instead of a gateway IP address as the next hop, the Layer 3 switch always forwards trac for the 10.128.2.69/24 network to
port 1/4/1. The command in the following example congures an IP static route that uses virtual interface 3 as its next hop.
device(config)# ip route 10.128.2.71 255.255.255.0 ve 3
Syntax: ip route dest-ip-addr dest-mask { next-hop-ip-addr | ethernet unit / slot / port | ve num } [ metric ] [ distance num ] [ name
static-route-name ] [ tag tag-num ]
or
Syntax: ip route dest-ip-addr / mask-bits { next-hop-ip-addr | ethernet unit / slot / port | ve num } [ metric ] [ distance num ] [ name
static-route-name ] [ tag tag-num ]
The dest-ip-addr variable is the route destination. The dest-mask variable is the network mask for the route destination IP address.
Alternatively, you can specify the network mask information by entering a forward slash followed by the number of bits in the network
mask. For example, you can enter 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 as 10.0.0.0/.24.
The next-hop-ip-addr variable is the IP address of the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
If you do not want to specify a next-hop IP address, you can instead specify a port or interface number. The num variable is a virtual
interface number. You can instead specify an Ethernet port. In this case, a Layer 3 switch forwards packets destined for the static route
destination network to the
specied Layer 3 switch interface. Conceptually, this feature makes the destination network like a directly
connected network, associated with a specic Layer 3 switch interface.
NOTE
The port or virtual interface you use for the static route next hop must have at least one IP address congured on it. The address
does not need to be in the same subnet as the destination network.
The metric variable can be a number from 1 through 16. The default is 1.
NOTE
If you specify 16, RIP considers the metric to be innite and thus also considers the route to be
unreachable.
The distance num variable species the administrative distance of the route. When comparing otherwise equal routes to a destination,
the Layer 3 switch prefers lower administrative distances over higher ones, so make sure you use a low value for your default route. The
default is 1.
NOTE
The Layer 3 switch will replace the static route if the it receives a route with a lower administrative distance.
NOTE
You can also assign the default router as the destination by entering 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
