Configuring the Destination of Static Routes

When you configure an individual static route in the route part of the static statement, specify the destination of the route (in route destination-prefix) in one of the following ways:

• network/mask-length, where network is the network portion of the IP address and mask-length is the destination prefix length.
• default if this is the default route to the destination. This is equivalent to specifying an IP address of 0.0.0.0/0.

Note: IPv4 packets with a destination of 0.0.0.0 (the obsoleted limited broadcast address) and IPv6 packets with a destination of 0::0 are discarded by default. To forward traffic destined to these addresses, you can add a static route to 0.0.0.0/32 for IPv4 or 0::0/128 for IPv6.
