5. Configure a static route.

• Method 1:
  ip route-static { dest-address { mask-length | mask } | group group-name } { interface-type interface-number [ next-hop-address ] | next-hop-address [ recursive-lookup host-route ] [ track track-entry-number ] | vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address [ recursive-lookup host-route ] [ track track-entry-number ] } [ permanent ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

• Method 2:ip route-static vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name { dest-address { mask-length | mask } | group group-name } { interface-type interface-number [ next-hop-address ] | next-hop-address [ recursive-lookup host-route ] [ public ] [ track track-entry-number ] | vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address [ recursive-lookup host-route ] [ track track-entry-number ] } [ permanent ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, no static route is configured.

6. (Optional.) Enable periodic sending of ARP requests to the next hops of static routes.

ip route-static arp-request interval interval
