Static route assignment

A static route can be assigned only when the active routing policy is port-based routing. When
exchange-based routing is active, you cannot assign static routes.
Static routes are supported only on the Brocade 4100 and 5000 platforms.
Static routes are not supported on the Brocade 300, 4900, 5410, 5424, 5450, 5460, 5470, 5480,
5100, 5300, 5424, 7500, 7500E, 7600, 7800, 8000, and VA-40FC switches, and the Brocade
48000 or Brocade DCX or DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms. Instead, use the traffic isolation
feature to create a dedicated path for interswitch traffic. See
for information about this feature.
Assigning a static route
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the uRouteConfig command.
Example of configuring a route

Removing a static route
