A static route is an IP address that you manually configure and that the routing protocol does not learn, such
as open shortest path first (OSPF). Often, static routes are used as backup routes in case other dynamically
learned routes are unreachable.
You can enter as many static IP addresses as necessary.
To configure a static route, use the following command.
• Configure a static IP address.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip route ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]} [distance]
[permanent] [tag tag-value]
Use the following required and optional parameters:
