Description
The
ip add route
command creates a static route entry in the route table. The static
route can be a default route, a route to a network or a route a specific host.
Parameters
<ipAddr-mask>
IP address and netmask of the destination. You can specify
the address and mask information using the traditional for-
mat (example: 10.1.2.3/255.255.0.0) or the CIDR format
(example: 10.1.2.3/16). If you specify an address without
mask information, the SSR uses the natural mask for the
address ( /8 for Class A, /16 for Class B or /24 for Class C).
gateway
IP address or hostname of the next hop router for this route.
host
Specifies that this route is a route to a host.

The next hop interface associated with this route. When

how this route competes with routes from other protocols.
The parameter takes a value between 0-255. The default
preference is 60.
retain

removed from the forwarding table when the routing ser-

moves all routes except interface routes during a graceful
