Usage
Information
Using the following example of a static route: ip route 33.33.33.0 /24 tengigabitethernet 1/1 172.31.5.43
● The software 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. In the example, if tengigabitethernet 1/1
has an ip address on subnet 2.2.2.0 and if 172.31.5.43 recursively resolves to 2.2.2.0, Dell EMC
Networking OS installs the static route.
● When the interface goes down, Dell EMC Networking OS withdraws the route.
● When the interface comes up, Dell EMC Networking OS re-installs the route.
● When recursive resolution is “broken,” Dell EMC Networking OS withdraws the route.
● When recursive resolution is satisfied, Dell EMC Networking OS re-installs the route.
You can specify a weight for an IPv4 or IPv6 static route. If the weight value of a path is 0, then that path
is not used for forwarding when weighted ECMP is in effect. Also, if a path corresponding to a static
