Description

Configure static routes to be installed in the routing table. You can specify any number of routes within a single static statement, and you can specify any number of static statements in the configuration.

Options

defaults—Configure default static route.

route destination-prefix—Destination of the generated route.

• defaults—For the default route to the destination. This is equivalent to specifying an IP address of 0.0.0.0/0.
• destination-prefix/prefix-length—destination-prefix is the network portion of the IP address, and prefix-length is the destination prefix length.

next-hop—How to reach the destination.

• discard—Do not forward packets addressed to this destination. Instead, drop the packets, do not send ICMP unreachable messages to the packets' originators, and install a reject route for this destination into the routing table.
• next-hop address—Reach the next-hop router by specifying an IP address or an interface name.
• next-table routing-table-name—Name of the next routing table to the destination.
• receive—Install a receive route for this destination into the routing table.
• eject—Do not forward packets addressed to this destination. Instead, drop the packets, send ICMP unreachable messages to the packets' originators, and install a reject route for this destination into the routing table.

static-options—(Optional under route) Additional information about static routes, which is included with the route when it is installed in the routing table.

You can specify one or more of the following in static-options. Each of the options is explained separately.

• (active | passive);
• as-path <as-path> <origin (egp | igp | incomplete)> <atomic-aggregate> <aggregator as-number in-address>;
• community [community-ids]
• (install | no-install);
• (metric | metric2 | metric3 | metric4) value <type type>;
• (preference | preference2 | color | color2) preference <type type>;
• (readvertise | no-readvertise);
• (resolve | no-resolve);
• (no-retain | retain);
• tag string;

The remaining statements are explained separately.
