static-network

Configures a static BGP4 network, creating a stable network in the core.

Syntax

static-network network/mask [ distance num ]

no static-network network/mask [ distance num ]

Parameters

network/mask: Network and mask in CIDR notation.
distance num: Specifies an administrative distance value for this network. Valid values range from 1 through 255. The default is 200.

Modes

BGP address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode

BGP address-family IPv4 unicast VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

While a route configured with this command will never flap unless it is deleted manually, a static BGP4 network will not interrupt the normal BGP4 decision process on other learned routes that are installed in the Routing Table Manager (RTM). Consequently, when there is a route that can be resolved, it will be installed into the RTM.

Examples

The following example configures a static network and sets an administrative distance of 300.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router bgp
device(config-bgp-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-bgp-ipv4u)# static-network 10.11.12.0/32 distance 300
