Install Guide

permanent (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword permanent to specify that the route is not to be
removed, even if the interface assigned to that route goes down.
NOTE: If you disable the interface with an IPv6 address associated with the
keyword permanent, the route disappears from the routing table.
weight weight-
value
Enter the keyword weight followed by a weight value. The range is from 0 to 255.
NOTE: Weight for a static route can be added only for the destination address
and not for the route pointing to destination a interface.

Usage
Information
When the interface goes down, Dell EMC Networking OS withdraws the route. The route is re-installed,
by Dell EMC Networking OS, when the interface comes back up. When a recursive resolution is “broken,”
Dell EMC Networking OS withdraws the route. The route is re-installed, by Dell EMC Networking OS,
when the recursive resolution is satisfied.
After an IPv6 static route interface is created, if an IP address is not assigned to a peer interface, the
peer must be manually pinged to resolve the neighbor information.
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 route (destination) has a non-zero weight assigned to it and other paths do not have any weight
configured, then regular ECMP is used for forwarding.
You can specify the weight value only to destination address and not on the egress port.
A route is considered for weighted ECMP calculations only if each paths corresponding to that route is
configured with a weight.
