Description

Configure statically configured routes to be deleted from or retained in the forwarding table when the routing protocol process shuts down normally:

• retain—Have a static route remain in the forwarding table when the routing protocol process shuts down normally. Doing this greatly reduces the time required to restart a system that has a large number of routes in its routing table.
• no-retain—Delete statically configured routes from the forwarding table when the routing protocol process shuts down normally.

Default

no-retain
