IP Routing Features
Configuring Static IP Routes

This feature allows the routing switch to adjust to changes in network
topology. The routing switch does not continue trying to use routes on
unavailable paths but instead uses routes only when their paths are available.

Configuring a Static IP Route

To configure an static IP route with a destination network of
192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router IP address of 195.1.1.1, you would
enter the following commands:

ProCurve(config)# ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 195.1.1.1

ProCurve(config)# write memory

Syntax: ip route < dest-ip-addr > < dest-mask > < next-hop-ip-addr >

— or —

ip route < dest-ip-addr >/< mask-bits > < next-hop-ip-addr >

The

< dest-ip-addr > is the route’s destination.

The

< dest-mask > parameter specifies the subnet mask for the routes destina­

tion IP address. Ones are significant bits and zeros allow any value. For
example, the mask 255.255.255.0 matches all hosts within the Class C sub-net
address specified by the

< dest-ip-addr >. Alternatively, you can use CIDR

notation and specify the number of bits in the network mask. For example,
you can enter 209.157.22.0/24 instead of 209.157.22.0 255.255.255.0.

The

< next-hop-ip-addr > is the IP address of the next router in the path to the

destination.

N o t e

The switch allows one static route configured for a particular network desti­
nation. If you configure a static route to a given network and then later
configure a different static route to the same network, the switch replaces the
first static route with the second.

Configuring the Default Route

You can also assign a default route and enter it in the routing table. The default
route is the route assigned to all traffic that has network destinations that are
not in the local routing table. For example, if 208.45.228.35 is the IP address
of your ISP router, all non-local traffic could be directed to that route by
entering the commands:

ProCurve(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 208.45.228.35

ProCurve(config)# write memory
