Figure 21-3.  show ip route static Command Example (partial)
FTOS installs a next hop that is on the directly connected subnet of current IP address on the interface (for 
example, if interface gig 0/0 is on 172.31.5.0 subnet, FTOS installs the static route).
FTOS also installs a next hop that is not on the directly connected subnet but which recursively resolves to 
a next hop on the interface's configured subnet. For example, if gig 0/0 has ip address on subnet 2.2.2.0 and 
if 172.31.5.43 recursively resolves to 2.2.2.0, FTOS installs the static route.
• When interface goes down, FTOS withdraws the route.
• When interface comes up, FTOS re-installs the route.
• When recursive resolution is “broken,” FTOS withdraws the route.
• When recursive resolution is satisfied, FTOS re-installs the route.
Configure static routes for the management interface
When an IP address used by a protocol and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the 
protocol route takes precedence over the static management route. 
To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command in the 
CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
management route ip-address mask 
{forwarding-router-address | 
ManagementEthernet slot/port}
CONFIGURATION Assign a static route to point to the management 
interface or forwarding router.
