Configuring Static Unicast Routes
This task explains how to assign an IP address and a network mask to a n SVI
Configuring Static Unicast Routes
Static unicast routes are user-defined routes that cause packets moving between a source and a
destination to take a specified path. Static routes can be important if the router cannot build a route to a
particular destination and are useful for specifying a gateway of last resort to which all unroutable
packets are sent.
Use the no ip route prefix mask {address | interface} global configuration command to remove a static
route. The switch retains static routes until you remove them.
When an interface goes down, all static routes through that interface are removed from the IP routing
table. When the software can no longer find a valid next hop for the address speci fied as the forwarding
router's address in a static route, the static route is also removed from the IP routing table.
Monitoring and Maintaining the IP Network
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface vlan vlan_id Enters interface configuration mode, and specifies the Layer 3
VLAN to configure.
Step 3 ip address ip-address subnet-mask Configures the IP address and IP subnet mask.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 ip route prefix mask {address | interface} [distance] Establishs a static route.
Step 3 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
