where:
size is the MTU size, expressed in bytes; valid entries are 68 to the maximum
MTU of the physical interface; default is 1496.
Use the no ip mtu command to restore the default MTU size.
Configuring Static Routes
You can arrange for a router to receive and send traffic by a specific static route, and
you can set a default route to reduce the routing table size. If a path to a destination
network cannot be located by a router, the BSR forwards the traffic to the default
router, if one is defined. Static routes cause packets moving between a source and a
destination to take a specific path. Static routes are important when the software
cannot build a route to a particular destination and for specifying a gateway to which
all unroutable packets are sent. To configure a static route, use the following
command in Global Configuration mode:
1. To set a specific route through a network, use the ip route command in Global
Configuration mode, as shown below.
MOT(config)#ip route <A.B.C.D> <mask> {<forward-ip-address> | null
<num:0,0> | pos <x>/<y> | tunnel <n>} [<distance>] [tag <1-4294967295>]
[range <n>]
where:
A.B.C.D is the static route destination IP address.
mask is the static route destination IP address mask.
forward-ip-address is the Forwarding router’s IP address.
null is null interface and port; valid entries are 0 and 0.
pos specifies the POS interface.
Note: The MTU depends on the type of physical interface.
