IP Routing—Configuring Static Routes

Configuring Static Routes

You can use static routing with dynamic routing. In this case, you supplement

routes discovered through various protocols with manually added routes. You

can configure the router to advertise these routes using a routing protocol, or

you can keep the routes private. (See Chapter 13: IP Routing—Configuring

RIP, OSPF, BGP, and PBR in the Advanced Management and Configuration

Guide to learn how to configure a routing protocol.)

For example, you can run a routing protocol, but configure a static default

route. (See "Configuring a Default Route" on page 11-17.)

Configuring a Static Route

When you configure a static route, you must enter the following information:

destination address and subnet mask

next-hop address or forwarding interface

By default, the administrative distance for a static route is 1 and the metric 0.

You can view the kind of information the ProCurve Secure Router stores in

its routing table in Figure 11-3.

Figure 11-3. Routing Table with Static Routes

The destination address is the network address for the destination subnet. The

subnet mask indicates how long this network address is. (The ProCurve

Secure Router also allows you to enter a prefix length instead of a subnet

mask.) When the router looks for a route that matches a packet's destination,

it only compares the bits specified by the subnet mask.
