Note
Multicast static routes are supported in the IPv4
address family, but not the IPv6 address family.
Static routes are used to reach networks not advertised by routers, and are manually
entered into the routing table.
-
You can use either of two commands to
create multicast static routes. The recommended command is the following:
configure iproute add [ipNetmask | ip_addr
mask] gateway {bfd}
{metric} {multicast | multicast-only | unicast | unicast-only} {vr
vrname}
For example:
configure iproute add 55.1.10.0/24 44.1.12.33 multicast
-
The following command is still supported for backward
compatibility with earlier ExtremeXOS software releases:
configure ipmroute add [source-net
mask-len | source-net
mask] {{protocol} protocol} rpf-address {metric} {vr
vr-name}
In the following example, the configure ipmroute add
command is used to specify protocol information for a route:
configure ipmroute add 58.1.10.0/24 ospf 44.1.12.33

Note
Ipmroute not supported for IPv6.
When a static route is configured with protocol information, the
route is shown as UP only when the protocol route is available. Otherwise, the route is
Down. In the example above, the multicast static route 58.1.10.0/24 is shown as UP only
when the OSPF route is available to reach the network
58.1.10.0/24.
Static routes are stored in the switch configuration
and can be viewed with the show configuration command. Static multicast
routes that do not include protocol information are displayed using
the configure iproute command format, even if they were created
using the configure ipmroute command. Static routes that are created
with a protocol field are displayed using the configure ipmroute
command format.
