In some situations, you might need to add a static routing table entry for one or more destination networks. Static route entries consist of the destination IP network address, the IP address of the next-hop router, and the metric (hop count) for the route. In software release 5.1 and later releases, you can configure Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR) routes, such as IP supernets, in the switch IP routing table. You can specify the subnet mask for a destination network using the number of subnet bits or using the subnet mask in dotted decimal format. If no subnet mask is specified, the default (classful) mask is used. The switch uses the longest-match network address in the IP routing table to determine which gateway to use to forward IP traffic. In releases prior to software release 5.1, the switch always uses the classful subnet mask for IP routing table entries. The switch forwards IP traffic generated by the switch using the longest address match in the IP routing table. The switch does not use the IP routing table to forward traffic from connected devices, only to forward IP traffic generated by the switch itself (for example, Telnet, TFTP, and ping). In software releases prior to software release 5.1, the classful subnet mask is always used (you cannot specify the subnet mask for the destination network). To configure a static route, perform this task in privileged mode: Step 1 Step 2 Task Command Configure a static route to the remote network. set ip route destination[/netmask] gateway [metric] Verify that the static route appears correctly in the show ip route IP routing table.

Configuring Static Routes
Note
For information on configuring a default gateway (default route), see the
“Configuring Default
Gateways” section on page 3-7
.
In some situations, you might need to add a static routing table entry for one or more destination
networks. Static route entries consist of the destination IP network address, the IP address of the
next-hop router, and the metric (hop count) for the route.
In software release 5.1 and later releases, you can configure Classless InterDomain Routing (CIDR)
routes, such as IP supernets, in the switch IP routing table. You can specify the subnet mask for a
destination network using the number of subnet bits or using the subnet mask in dotted decimal format.
If no subnet mask is specified, the default (classful) mask is used.
The switch uses the longest-match network address in the IP routing table to determine which gateway
to use to forward IP traffic. In releases prior to software release 5.1, the switch always uses the classful
subnet mask for IP routing table entries.
The switch forwards IP traffic generated by the switch using the longest address match in the IP routing
table. The switch does not use the IP routing table to forward traffic from connected devices, only to
forward IP traffic generated by the switch itself (for example, Telnet, TFTP, and ping).
In software releases prior to software release 5.1, the classful subnet mask is always used (you cannot
specify the subnet mask for the destination network).
To configure a static route, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure a static route on the switch and how to verify that the route is
configured properly in the routing table:
