ip route (globally)

You can configure routing switches with a static default route, or they can learn it through a dynamic routing protocol. Use this command to create static routes for data traffic in the GRT.

Syntax

default ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} [dynamic] [enable] [local-next-hop enable] [name] [preference]
ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} enable [next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>]
ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} local-next-hop enable
ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} name WORD<0-64>
ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} preference <1-255> [next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>]
ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} weight <1-65535> [local-next-hop enable] [name WORD<0-64>] [next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>] [preference <1-255>]
no ip route {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} [dynamic] [enable] [local-next-hop enable] [name] [next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>] [preference]

Command Parameters

{A.B.C.D}: The first and second <A.B.C.D> specify the IP address and mask for the route destination.; 255.255.255.255 is the black hole route. Configures a black hole static route to the destination a router advertises to avoid routing loops when aggregating or injecting routes to other routers.; The default route specifies a route to all networks for which there are no explicit routes in the Forwarding Information Base or the routing table. The default route has a prefix length of zero (RFC 1812).
enable: Adds a static or default route to the router or VRF.
local-next-hop enable: Enables the local next hop for this static route.
name WORD<1-64>: Specifies the static route name.
next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>: Specifies the next-hop VRF instance by name.
preference <1-255>: Specifies the route preference.
weight <1-65535>: Specifies the static route cost.
Note

Do not configure a static interface subnet route with a weight of 1.
