Configure Static Routes for a Management Instance

Note

This procedure does not apply to VSP 8600 Series.

Use this task to configure static routes for Management Instances.

About this task

For the Management Instance CLIP, you do not need to configure a default or static route. This interface type uses all routing information learned by protocols attached to the VRF. For more information about how to associate a VRF with the CLIP interface, see Create a Segmented Management Instance.

For the Management Instance OOB and VLAN, you must configure a default or static route to reach the next-hop gateway; no routing protocol information is used to access off-link networks.

You can configure up to 100 IPv4 and IPv6 static routes.

Procedure

Enter Global Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal
Enter the configuration mode for the Management Instance:

mgmt {clip | oob | vlan}
Configure a static route:

ip route <A.B.C.D A.B.C.D | A.B.C.D/X> next-hop <A.B.C.D> [weight <1–65535>]

OR

ipv6 route WORD<0-255> [next-hop WORD<0-255>] [weight <1–65535>]

Example

Add a static route to configure routing for a Management Instance:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Switch:1(config)#mgmt vlan
Switch:1(mgmt:vlan)#ip route 192.0.2.2/24 next-hop 198.51.100.1

Variable definitions

The following table defines parameters for the ip route and ipv6 route commands.


Variable	Value
<A.B.C.D A.B.C.D \| A.B.C.D/X>	Specifies the IP address and mask in one of the following formats: A.B.C.D A.B.C.D A.B.C.D/X
next-hop <A.B.C.D> or next-hop WORD<0-255>	Specifies the next hop address for the static route. Use an IP in the same subnet as the management VLAN IP address.
weight <1–65535>	Specifies the static route cost. The default is 100 for CLIP, 200 for VLAN, and 300 for OOB. The management CLIP uses an internal static route with a weight of 100. If you use both CLIP and VLAN and need to force all default traffic out the management VLAN interface, configure a default static route with a weight lower than 100.
WORD<0-255>	Specifies the IPv6 address.
