Static Reject Routes A static reject route is a static route to discard the packets to a particular destination, thereby forcing a black-hole routing behavior for a particular set of IP prefixes. Static reject routes can help prevent a routing loop in the network if a default route is configured on a router. Static reject routes also help protect against a DOS attack on a router with unwanted destination addresses. NOTE: Static reject routes are not redistributed by OSPF or RIP. Starting with software release 3.0, you can select Static Reject as a route type from the Route Type field on the following pages under the Routing →Router menu: • Route Entry Configuration • Configured Routes NOTE: For a static reject route, the next hop interface value is Null0.
