C HAPTER 18 | General IP Routing
Configuring Static Routes
– 634 –
network topology, so you should only configure a small number of stable
routes to ensure network accessibility.
CLI R EFERENCES
◆ "ip route" on page 1448
C OMMAND U SAGE
◆ Up to 512 static routes can be configured.
◆ Up to eight equal-cost multipaths (ECMP) can be configured for static
routing (see "Equal-cost Multipath Routing" on page 637 ).
◆ If an administrative distance is defined for a static route, and the same
destination can be reached through a dynamic route at a lower
administration distance, then the dynamic route will be used.
◆ If both static and dynamic paths have the same lowest cost, the first
route stored in the routing table, either statically configured or
dynamically learned via a routing protocol, will be used.
◆ Static routes are included in RIP and OSPF updates periodically sent by
the router if this feature is enabled by RIP or OSPF (see page 659 or
687 , respectively).
P ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Destination IP Address – IP address of the destination network,
subnetwork, or host.
◆ Netmask / Prefix Length – Network mask for the associated IP
subnet. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets.
◆ Next Hop – IP address of the next router hop used for this route.
◆ Distance – An administrative distance indicating that this route can be
overridden by dynamic routing information if the distance of the
dynamic route is less than that configured for the static route. Note
that the default administrative distances used by the dynamic unicast
routing protocols is 110 for OSPF and 120 for RIP.
