1.1 IP Routing
1.1.1 Configuring Static Routes
Static routes are manually configured so that the packets can be sent to the
specified destination network go through the specified route. When it fails to learn
the routes of some destination networks, it becomes critical to configure static
routes. It is a common practice to configure a default route for the packets that do
not have a definite route.
To configure static routes, execute the following commands in the global
configuration mode:
Command Function
DES-7200(config)# ip route [vrf vrf_name] network
mask {ip-address | interface-type interface-number
[ip-address]} [distance] [tag tag] [permanent]
[weight weight] [track object-number]
Configure static routes.
DES-7200(config)# no ip route network mask
Delete Static Route
DES-7200(config)# ip static route-limit number
Specify the maximum number of
static routes.
DES-7200(config)# no ip static route-limit
Restore the default maximum
number of static routes.
For the example of configuring static routes, see “Example of Dynamic Routes
Overriding Static Routes” in this chapter.
If they are not deleted, DES-7200 product will always retain the static routes.
However, you can replace the static routes with the better routes learned by the
dynamic routing protocols. Better routes mean that they have smaller distances.
All routes including the static ones carry the parameters of the management
distance. The following table shows the management distances of various
sources of DES-7200 product:
