S6000
Syntax
ip route [vrf vrf-name] ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]}
[distance] [name description] [permanent] [tag tag-value] [vrf vrf-name]
[weight weight-value]
To delete a specific static route, use the no ip route destination mask command.
To delete all routes matching a certain route, use the no ip route destination mask command.
Parameters
vrf vrf-name (Optoinal) Enter the keyword vrf and then the name of the VRF to configure a static
route corresponding to that VRF. Use this VRF option after the ip route keyword to
configure a static route on that particular VRF.
destination Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format of the destination device.
mask Enter the mask in the slash prefix format (/x) of the destination IP address.
ip-address Enter the IP address of the forwarding router in dotted decimal format.
interface Enter one of the following keyword followed by the interface information
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then
the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/
port information.
•
For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0 to
16383.
• For the Management interface on the stack-unit, enter the keyword
ManagementEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a number.
• For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
• For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword vlan then a number from 1 to 4094.
• For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel interface number.
The range is from 1 to 16383.
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.
name description (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword name and the description for the IPv4 static route
configuration.
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. See “R”oute Leaking VRFs” in the Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)
section of the Configuration guide.
