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:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. (Optional.) Create a static route group and enter its view. | ip route-static-group group-name | By default, no static route group is configured. |
3. (Optional.) Add a static route prefix to the static route group. | prefix dest-address { mask-length | mask } | By default, no static route prefix is added to the static route group. |
4. (Optional.) Return to system view. | quit | N/A |
5. Configure a static route. | 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 ] } [ permanent ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ] | By default, no static route is configured. |
6. (Optional.) Configure the default preference for static routes. | ip route-static default-preference default-preference | The default setting is 60. |
7. (Optional.) Delete all static routes, including the default route. | delete static-routes all | To delete one static route, use the undo ip route-static command. |
