name ]
To delete a specific static route, use the no ip route destination mask command.
To delete all routes matching a certain route, use the no ip route destination mask command.
Parameters
destination Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format of the destination device.
mask Enter the mask in the slash prefix format (/x) of the destination IP address.
ip-address Enter the IP address of the forwarding router in dotted decimal format.
interface interface Enter one of the following keywords and slot/port or number information:
• For a null interface, enter the keyword null then the slot/port information. The Null
interface number is 0.
• For a Management Ethernet interface, enter the keyword managementethernet
then the slot/port information.
• For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then the slot/port
information. The range is from 0 to 16383.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/
port information.
• For a Tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel ID. The range is
from 1 to 16383.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then the slot/port information. The
range is from 1 to 4094.
• For a port extender (PE) Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword peGigE then
the pe-id / stack-unit / port-id information. The pe-id range is 0–255; the stack-unit
number range is 0– 7; and the port-id range is 1–48.
• For a port extender 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword peTenGigE
then the pe-id / stack-unit / port-id information. The pe-id range is from 0 to 255;
the stack-unit unit-number range is from 0 to 7; and the port-id range is 25 to 28 or
49 to 52 depending on the PE.
If you configure a static IPv6 route using an egress interface and enter the ping command
to reach the destination IPv6 address, the ping operation may not work. Configure the
IPv6 route using a next-hop IPv6 address in order for the ping command to detect the
destination address.

ip-
address
Enter the keyword interface then the IP address.
name description (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword name and the description for the IPv4 static route

distance (OPTIONAL) Enter the value of the distance metric assigned to the route. The range is
from 1 to 255.
permanent (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword permanent to specify that the route must not be
removed even if the interface assigned to that route goes down. The route must be
currently active to be installed in the routing table. If you disable the interface, the route is
