destination a interface.

Usage Information
When the interface goes down, Dell Networking OS withdraws the route. The route
is re-installed, by Dell Networking OS, when the interface comes back up. When a
recursive resolution is “broken,” Dell Networking OS withdraws the route. The route
is re-installed, by Dell 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.
