Adds a static route to the IP route table.

Syntax — 

set ip route {default | ip-addr mask | 

ip-addr/mask-length} gateway metric

„

 — Default route. A WX switch uses the default route if an 

explicit route is not available for the destination.

Default is an alias for IP address 0.0.0.0/0.

„

 — IP address and subnet mask for the route 

destination, in dotted decimal notation (for example, 10.10.10.10 
255.255.255.0).

„

 — IP address and subnet mask length in CIDR 

format (for example, 10.10.10.10/24).

„

 — IP address, DNS hostname, or alias of the next-hop router.

„

 — Cost for using the route. You can specify a value from 

0 through 2,147,483,647. Lower-cost routes are preferred over 
higher-cost routes.

Defaults — The HTTPS server is enabled by default.

Access — Enabled.

Usage — MSS can use a static route only if a direct route in the route 
table resolves the static route. MSS adds routes with next-hop types Local 
and Direct when you add an IP interface to a VLAN, if the VLAN is up. If 
one of these added routes can resolve the static route, MSS can use the 
static route.

Before you add a static route, use the display interface command to 
verify that the WX switch has an IP interface in the same subnet as the 
route’s next-hop router. If not, the VLAN:Interface field of the display ip 
route command output shows that the route is down.

You can configure a maximum of 4 routes per destination. This includes 
default routes, which have destination 0.0.0.0/0. Each route to a given 
destination must have a unique gateway address. When the route table 
contains multiple default or explicit routes to the same destination, MSS 
uses the route with the lowest cost. If two or more routes to the same 
destination have the lowest cost, MSS selects the first route in the route 
table.
