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/X> {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/X> {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/X> {A.B.C.D} local-next-hop enable
ip route <A.B.C.D A.B.C.D | A.B.C.D/X> {A.B.C.D} name WORD<0-64>
ip route <A.B.C.D A.B.C.D | A.B.C.D/X> {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/X> {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/X> {A.B.C.D} [dynamic] [enable] [local-next-hop enable] [name] [next-hop-vrf WORD<1-16>] [preference]

Command Parameters

<A.B.C.D A.B.C.D | A.B.C.D/X>

Specifies the IP address and mask for the route destination in one of the following formats:

A.B.C.D A.B.C.D
A.B.C.D/X

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).

{A.B.C.D}

Specifies the IP address of the next-hop router (the next router at which packets must arrive on this route). When you create a black hole static route, configure this parameter to 255.255.255.255 as the IP address of the router through which the specified route is accessible. Configure a black hole static route to the destination a router advertises to avoid routing loops when aggregating or injecting routes to other routers.

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.

Default

None

Usage Guidelines

Static routes for the management OOB, if supported, and management VLAN must use the Segmented Management Instance. For more information, see Fabric Engine User Guide. The management CLIP can use the Segmented Management Instance or routes in the associated VRF routing table manager (RTM).
