ip route
Use the ip route command in Global Configuration mode to configure a static route. Use the no
form of the command to delete the static route. The IP route command sets a value for the route
preference. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the
route entered into the forwarding database. Specifying the preference of a static route controls
whether a static route is more or less preferred than routes from dynamic routing protocols. The
preference also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to
the same destination.
