ip route
This command configures static routes. Use the no form to remove static routes.
Syntax
ip route destination-ip netmask next-hop [distance]
no ip route {destination-ip netmask next-hop | *}
destination-ip – IP address of the destination network, subnetwork, or host.
netmask - 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 hop router used for this route.
distance – An administrative distance indicating that this route can be
overridden by other routing information. (Range: 1-255, Default: 1)
* – Removes all static routing table entries.
Default Setting
No static routes are configured.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
◆
Up to 24 static routes can be configured.
◆
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.
Example
This example forwards all traffic for subnet 192.168.1.0 to the gateway router
192.168.5.254, using the default metric of 1.
Console(config)#ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.254
Console(config)#
