Traffic Non-Forwarding IP Static Routes

Non-forwarding IP static routes are management routes.

There are two methods for configuring a non-forwarding management route. The recommended method is to first set the routing interface as a non-forwarding interface using the IPv4 no ip forwarding command in interface configuration mode (IPv6 forwarding is disabled by default). In global configuration mode, configure the static route using the ip route command for an IPv4 route or ipv6 route command for and IPv6 route. Because the ip route and ipv6 route commands are configured in router configuration command mode, the configuration is capable of automatically determining the correct VLAN if not specified.

The second method is using the legacy command set ip route in system configuration mode specifying an IPv4 or IPv6 destination address.

For S- and K-Series static routes that will be used to route transit frames, use the ip route command as described in section Traffic Forwarding IP Static Routes (S-, K-Series).
