Configuring Static Routes

Static routes provide fixed routing paths through the network. They are manually configured on the router. If the network topology changes, the static route must be updated with a new route. Static routes are private routes, unless they are redistributed by a routing protocol. Configuring static routes on the Cisco 1800 series routers is optional.

Perform these steps to configure static routes, beginning in global configuration mode:

	Command		Purpose
Step 1
	ip route prefix mask {ip-address interface-type		Specifies the static route for the IP packets.
	interface-number [ip-address]}		For details about this command and additional
	Example:		parameters that can be set, see the Cisco IOS IP
			Command Reference, Volume 2 of 4: Routing
	Router(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0		Protocols.
	255.255.0.0	10.10.10.2
	Router(config)#
Step 2
	end		Exits router configuration mode, and enters
			privileged EXEC mode.
	Example:
	Router(config)# end
	Router#

For complete information on the static routing commands, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 documentation set. For more general information on static routing, see Appendix B, “Concepts.”
