Configuring an IP Route
• firewall - Configures a firewall route. The firewall option instructs the CSS 
to use firewall load balancing for this route. You can optionally set the 
administrative distance. 
Note The CLI prevents you from configuring IP static routes with identical 
destinations and identical administrative costs, for IP static routes 
that are firewall routes and IP static routes that are not firewall routes.
• index - An existing index number for the firewall route. For information on 
configuring a firewall index, see the ip firewall command (refer to the Cisco 
Content Services Switch Security Configuration Guide).
For example, to configure a static IP route to destination network address 
192.168.0.0 /16 and a next hop address of 192.167.1.1, enter:
(config)# ip route 192.168.0.0 /16 192.167.1.1 
For example, to configure a default IP route using a destination address of 
0.0.0.0 /0 and a next hop address of 192.167.1.1, enter:
(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 /0 192.167.1.1 
For example, to configure a blackhole route, enter: 
(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 /24 blackhole 
For example, to configure a firewall IP route with an index number of 3 and an 
administrative distance of 2, enter: 
(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 /24 firewall 3 2 
To remove a static route, enter: 
(config)# no ip route 0.0.0.0 /0 10.0.1.1 
To disable the dropping of packets to a blackhole route, enter:
(config)# no ip route 192.168.1.0 /24 blackhole
To remove a firewall route, enter:
(config)# no ip route 192.168.1.0 /24 firewall 3
