Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 156)

The distancenum parameter configures the administrative distance for the route. You can specify a
value from 1 - 255. The default is 1. The value 255 makes the route unusable.
The last three parameters are optional and do not affect the null route, unless you configure the
administrative distance to be 255. In this case, the route is not used and the traffic might be forwarded
instead of dropped.
Static route next hop resolution
This feature enables the Brocade device to use routes from a specified protocol to resolve a
configured static route. By default this is disabled.
To configure static route next hop resolution with OSPF routes, use the following command.
device(config)# ip route next-hop ospf
Syntax: [no] ip route next-hop [ bgp | ospf | rip ]
NOTE
This command can be independently applied on a per-VRF basis.
This command causes the resolution of static route next hop using routes learned from one of the
following protocols:
• bgp - both iBGP and eBGP routes are used to resolve static routes.
• ospf
• rip
NOTE
Connected routes are always used to resolve static routes.
Static route recursive lookup
This feature enables the Brocade device to use static routes to resolve another static route. The
recursive static route next hop lookup level can be configured. By default, this feature is disabled.
To configure static route next hop recursive lookup by other static routes, use the following command.
device(config)# ip route next-hop-recursion 5
Syntax: [no] ip route next-hop-recursion level
The level available specifies the numbers of level of recursion allowed. Acceptable values are 1-10.
The default value is 3.
NOTE
This command can be independently applied on a per-VRF basis.
Static route resolve by default route
This feature enables the Brocade device to use the default route (0.0.0.0/0) to resolve a static route.
By default, this feature is disabled.
