ip-address: enter an address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
mask: enter a mask in slash prefix-length format (/X).
interface: enter an interface type then the slot/port information.
distance: the range is from 1 to 255. (optional)
permanent: keep the static route in the routing table (if you use the interface option) even if you
disable the interface with the route. (optional)
tag tag-value: the range is from 1 to 4294967295. (optional)
Example of the show ip route static Command
To view the configured routes, use the show ip route static command.

The system installs a next hop that is on the directly connected subnet of current IP address on the interface
(for example, if interface tengig 0/0 is on 172.31.5.0 subnet, the system installs the static route).
The system also installs a next hop that is not on the directly connected subnet but which recursively resolves
to a next hop on the interface's configured subnet. For example, if tengig 0/0 has ip address on subnet
2.2.2.0 and if 172.31.5.43 recursively resolves to 2.2.2.0, the system installs the static route.
When the interface goes down, the system withdraws the route.
When the interface comes up, the system re-installs the route.
When the recursive resolution is “broken,” the system withdraws the route.
When the recursive resolution is satisfied, the system re-installs the route.
Configure Static Routes for the Management Interface
When an IP address that a protocol uses and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the
protocol route takes precedence over the static management route.
To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command.
Assign a static route to point to the management interface or forwarding router.
