Creates/deletes an IP static route. Static routes are user-defined; they carry a higher priority than routes 
created by dynamic routing protocols. That is, static routes always have priority over dynamic routes, 
regardless of the metric value.

ip static-route ip_address [mask mask] gateway gateway [metric metric]

no ip static-route ip_address [mask mask] gateway ip_address [metric metric]

Destination IP address of the static route.

Subnet mask corresponding to the destination IP address.

gateway ip_address

IP address of the next hop used to reach the destination IP address.

Metric or cost (hop count) for the static route. You can set a priority for 
the static route by assigning a metric value. The lower the metric value, 
the higher the priority. Valid range is 1–15.

• Static routes do not age out of the routing tables; however, they can be deleted. Use the no form of this 

command to delete a static route.

• A static route is not active unless the gateway it is using is active.

• The subnet mask is not required if you want to use the natural subnet mask. By default, the switch 

imposes a natural mask on the IP address.

• Use the ip static-route command to configure default route. For example, to create a default route 

through gateway 171.11.2.1, you would enter: ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 
171.11.2.1.

-> ip static-route 171.11.1.1 gateway 171.11.2.1

-> ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 171.11.2.1

Release 6.1; command was introduced.
