The metric (cost) can be any number between 0 and 2,147,483,647. Lower-cost routes are preferred over higher-cost 
routes. When you add multiple routes to the same destination, WSS Software groups the routes together and orders them 
from lowest cost at the top of the group to highest cost at the bottom of the group. If you add a new route that has the 
same destination and cost as a route already in the table, WSS Software places the new route at the top of the group of 
routes with the same cost. 

To add a default route that uses default router 10.5.4.1 and has a cost of 1, type the following command:

WSS

success: change accepted.

To add two default routes and configure WSS Software to always use the route through 10.2.4.69 when the WSS 
interface to that default router is up, type the following commands:

WSS

success: change accepted.

WSS

success: change accepted.

To add an explicit route from a WSS to any host on the 192.168.4.x subnet through the local router 10.5.4.2, and give the 
route a cost of 1, type the following command:

WSS

success: change accepted.

To remove a static route, use the following command:

clear ip route {default | ip-addr mask | ip-addr/mask-length} default-router

The following command removes the route to 192.168.4.69/24 that uses defaultgateway router 10.2.4.1:

WSS

success: change accepted.

The following command removes the default route that uses default router 10.5.5.5:

WSS

success: change accepted.

After you remove a route, traffic that uses the route can no longer reach its 

destination. For example, if you are managing the WSS with a Telnet session and the 
session needs the static route, removing the route also removes the Telnet connection to 
the switch.
