(ICMP) packet will be returned to inform the source host that the destination host or 
network is unreachable. 
2.2  Static Route Configuration 
2.2.1  Configuration Prerequisites 
Before configuring a static route, perform the following tasks:  
z  Configuring the physical parameters of the related interface  
z  Configuring the link layer attributes of the related interface 
z  Configuring an IP address for the related interface

Required
 
By default, the system 
can obtain the route to 
the subnet directly 
connected to the 
router.
 
Delete all static routes
 
delete static-routes all 
Optional
 
This command 
deletes all static 
routes, including the 
default route.
 
 
  Note: 
z  If the destination IP address and the mask of a route are both 0.0.0.0, the route is 
the default route. Any packet for which the router fails to find a matching entry in the 
routing table will be forwarded through the default route.  
z  Do not configure the next hop address of a static route to the address of an interface 
on the local switch. 
z  The preference can be configured differently to implement flexible route
