Install Guide

INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
● ip-address mask: the IP address must be in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in slash prefix-
length format (/24).
● secondary: add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. You can configure up
to eight secondary IP addresses.
To view the configuration, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode or use the show ip interface command
in EXEC privilege mode, as shown in the second example.
Configuring Static Routes
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 [vrf vrf-name] ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]} [distance]
[name description] [permanent] [tag tag-value] [vrf vrf-name]
Use the following required and optional parameters:
○ vrf vrf-name : use the VRF option after the ip route keyword to configure a static route on that particular VRF,
use the VRF option after the next hop to specify which VRF the next hop belongs to. This will be used in route leaking
cases.
○ 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)
○ name: enter the keyword name and the description of the IPv4 static route configuration. (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)
To view the configured routes, use the show ip route static command.
Dell EMC Networking OS installs a next hop that is on the directly connected subnet of current IP address on the interface.
Dell EMC Networking OS 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.
● 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 the recursive resolution is “broken,” Dell EMC Networking OS withdraws the route.
● When the recursive resolution is satisfied, Dell EMC Networking OS re-installs the route.
Adding description for IPv4 and IPv6 static routes
Dell EMC Networking OS provides support to add a description for the IPv4 or IPv6 static route configurations. A name option
is introduced to provide the description about the static route configured. This feature enables you to segregate or distinguish
between the configured IPv4 or IPv6 static routes.
Following is the syntax of the {ip | ipv6} route command with the name option:
