Administrator Guide

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.
interface ip-
address
Enter the keyword interface then the IP address.
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 removed from the routing table.
tag tag-value (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword tag then a number to assign to the route. The
range is from 1 to 4294967295.
vrf vrf-name Enter the keyword vrf followed by the name of the VRF. Use this VRF option
after the next hop to specify which VRF the next hop belongs to. This setting is
used in route leaking cases. Refer to the Route Leaking VRFs section in the Virtual
Routing and Forwarding (VRF) chapter of the Configuration guide.
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.
Defaults Not configured.

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 tengig 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 Networking OS installs
the static route.
