Configuring a static route
Before you configure a static route, complete the following tasks:
Configure the physical parameters for related interfaces.
Configure the link-layer attributes for related interfaces.
Configure the IP addresses for related interfaces.
You can associate Track with a static route to monitor the reachability of the next hops. For more information about Track, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
To configure a static route:
