Specify Static Route Options

In the defaults and route parts of the static statement, you can specify static-options, which define additional information about static routes that is included with the route when it is installed in the routing table. All static options are optional. Static options that you specify in the defaults part of the static statement are treated as global defaults and apply to all the static routes you configure in the static statement. Static options that you specify in the route part of the static statement override any global static options and apply to that destination only.

To configure static route options for IPv4 static routes, include one or more options in the defaults or route part of the static statement. Each of these options is explained in the sections that follow.

The following sections explain how to specify static route options:

• Specify the Route Metric
• Specify the Route Preference
• Specify Community Information
• Specify the AS Path
• Specify the OSPF Tag
• Specify Whether a Route Is Installed in the Forwarding Table
• Specify Whether the Route Is Permanently Installed in the Forwarding Table
• Specify Whether Inactive Routes Are Removed from the Routing or Forwarding Table
• Specify When the Route Can Be Readvertised
• Specify When the Route Can Be Resolved to a Prefix not Directly Connected
