The addition of a preference option has a side benefit. The preference option allows the operator to control the preference of individual static routes relative to routes learned from other sources (such as OSPF). When routes from different sources have the same preference, Dell EMC Networking routing prefers a static route over a dynamic route. Static Reject Routes To administratively control the traffic destined to a particular network so that it is not forwarded through the router, Dell EMC Networking enables configuring a static reject route for that network on the router. Such traffic is discarded and an ICMP destination unreachable message is sent back to the source. Static reject routes are typically used to prevent routing loops. Default Routes Dell EMC Networking routing provides a preference option for the configuration of default routes. A configured default route is treated exactly like a static route. Therefore, default routes and static routes have the same default preference (1). encapsulation Use the encapsulation command in Interface Configuration (VLAN) mode to configure the Link Layer encapsulation type for the packet. Routed frames are always Ethernet-encapsulated when a frame is routed to a VLAN. Syntax encapsulation {ethernet | snap} • ethernet - Specifies Ethernet encapsulation. • snap - Specifies SNAP encapsulation. Default Configuration Ethernet encapsulation is the default configuration.
