Configuring static routes
19
The metric parameter specifies the cost of the route and can be a number from 1 – 16. The default
is 1.
NOTE
If you specify 16, RIP considers the metric to be infinite and thus also considers the route to be
unreachable.
The tag num parameter specifies the tag value of the route. Possible values: 0 - 4294967295.
Default: 0.
The distance num parameter specifies the administrative distance of the route. When comparing
otherwise equal routes to a destination, the Brocade device prefers lower administrative distances
over higher ones, so make sure you use a low value for your default route. Possible values: 1 - 255.
Default: 1.
NOTE
The Brocade device will replace the static route if it receives a route with a lower administrative
distance.
The name string parameter specifies the name assigned to a route. The static route name is
descriptive and an optional feature. It does not affect the selection of static routes.
NOTE
Using the no ip route command will only remove the name if configured. Run the no command again
without the name parameter to remove the actual Static Route.
Configuring a static IP route between VRFs
You can configure a static route next hop to be in a different VRF. This can be done for the following:
•
From the default VRF to a non-default VRF
•
From a non-default VRF to a non-default VRF
•
From a non-default VRF to the default VRF
•
From one VRF to an IP interface in a different VRF.
NOTE
RPF is not supported with the Static Route between VRFs feature.
NOTE
For information on disabling gratuitous ARP requests on a VRF IP interface, refer to
gratuitous ARP requests for local proxy ARP”
Configuring a static route from the default VRF to a non-default VRF
To configure an IP static route with a destination address of 10.0.0.0/24 and a next-hop router with
an IP address of 10.1.1.1 in the non-default VRF named “blue”, enter the following at the general
configuration prompt.
Brocade(config)# vrf red
Brocade(config-vrf-red)# ip route 10.128.2.69/24 next-hop-vrf blue 10.1.1.1
