Configure a static route

• IPv4
  • config# ip route <destination address> <netmask> <next-hop add. or local interface> <ad>
    • Destination address
      • Network address of the target network
    • Netmask
      • subnet mask of the target destination written in dotted-decimal
    • Next-hop Address or Local interface
      • Either the IP address of the directly-connected neighbor interface, or the local interface you want to send traffic out of
    • AD (Administrative Distance)
      • Default is 1, but can be manually set
      • To configure a Floating Static Route, assign an AD of 1 or more than the
• IPv6
  • config# ip route <destination address and netmask> <next-hop add. and/or local interface> <ad>
    • Destination address and netmask
      • The target network address with it's slash-notation subnet mask
        • e.g., 2001:db8::1/64
    • Next-hop address and/or Local interface
      • There are three possible configurations:
        • Directly Connected
          • Only the local interface is listed
        • Recursive
          • Only the neighbor IP address is listed
          • Called "Recursive" because it has to check the routing table twice
            • It has to check the routing table twice; first to see where to send the packet, next to see which interface is connected to the neighbor IP
        • Fully Specified
          • Identifies both the local interface and the neighbor IP
    • AD (Administrative Distance)
      • Default is 1, but can be manually set
      • To configure a Floating Static Route, assign an AD of 1 or more than the
