Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 154)

Adding a static IP route
To configure an IP static route with a destination address of 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 and a next-hop router
IP address of 195.1.1.1, enter the following.
device(config)# ip route 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 195.1.1.1
To configure a default route, enter the following.
device(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
To configure a static IP route with an Ethernet port instead of a next-hop address, enter a command
such as the following.
device(config)# ip route 192.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 ethernet 4/1
The command configures a static IP route for destination network 192.128.2.69/24. Since an Ethernet
port is specified instead of a gateway IP address as the next hop, the Brocade device always forwards
traffic for the 192.128.2.69/24 network to port 4/1.
To configure an IP static route that uses virtual interface 3 as its next hop, enter a command such as
the following.
device(config)# ip route 192.128.2.71 255.255.255.0 ve 3
Syntax: [no] ip route dest-ip-addr dest-mask | dest-ip-addr/mask-bits next-hop-ip-addr | ethernet
slot/port | ve num [ metric ] [ tag num ] [ distance num ] [ name string ]
NOTE
Using the no form of the command only removes the name if configured. Another no command must
be issued to remove the actual Static Route.
The dest-ip-addr is the route’s destination. The dest-mask is the network mask for the route’s
destination IP address. Alternatively, you can specify the network mask information by entering /
followed by the number of bits in the network mask. For example, you can enter 192.0.0.0
255.255.255.0 as 192.0.0.0/.24.
The next-hop-ip-addr is the IP address of the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
For a default route, enter 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (use 0 for the mask-bits if you specify the
address in CIDR format).
If you do not want to specify a next-hop IP address, you can instead specify a port or interface number
on the Brocade device. The num parameter is a virtual interface number. The slot/port is the port’s
number of the Brocade device. If you specify an Ethernet port, the Brocade device forwards packets
destined for the static route’s destination network to the specified interface. Conceptually, this feature
makes the destination network like a directly connected network, associated with a Brocade device
interface.
NOTE
The port or virtual interface you use for the static route’s next hop must have at least one IP address
configured on it. The address does not need to be in the same subnet as the destination network.
The metric parameter specifies the cost of the route and can be a number from 1 - 16. The default is 1.
