Enters static route configuration mode.
Step 3
vrf 
vrf-name
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-static)# vrf vrf_A
Enters VRF configuration mode.
Step 4
address-family {ipv4 | ipv6} {unicast | 
multicast} 
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-static-vrf)# 
address family ipv6 unicast 
Enters address family mode.

Configures an administrative distance of 201.
Step 6
end
or
commit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-static-vrf-afi)# en

or
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-static-vrf-afi)# 
commit
Saves configuration changes.
• When you issue the end command, the system prompts 
you to commit changes:
Uncommitted changes found, commit them before 
exiting(yes/no/cancel)?
[cancel]:
–
Entering yes saves configuration changes to the 
running configuration file, exits the configuration 
session, and returns the router to EXEC mode.
–
Entering no exits the configuration session and 
returns the router to EXEC mode without 
committing the configuration changes.
–
Entering cancel leaves the router in the current 
configuration session without exiting or 
committing the configuration changes.
• Use the commit command to save the configuration 
changes to the running configuration file and remain 
within the configuration session.
