Adding description for IPv4 and IPv6 static routes
Dell EMC Networking OS provides support to add a description for the IPv4 or IPv6 static route configurations. A name option is
introduced to provide the description about the static route configured. This feature enables you to segregate or distinguish between the
configured IPv4 or IPv6 static routes.
Following is the syntax of the {ip | ipv6} route command with the name option:
{ip | ipv6} route [vrf vrf-name] ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]}
[distance] [name description] [permanent] [tag tag-value] [vrf vrf-name] [weight weight-value]
You can enter up to 32 characters as the name or description for this route. These description can be a combination of numbers, special
characters, and alphabets. To add multiple strings using space, use double quotes.
Following is the sample configuration steps to provide the descriptions for the IPv4 and IPv6 static route configuration:
DellEMC(conf)# ip route 199.1.1.0 /24 vlan 100 name "Uplink To NewYork"
DellEMC(conf)# ipv6 route 1001:1001::/64 GigabitEthernet 1/42 2001:2001::1 name
ipv6_link_going_to_europe_centre
DellEMC(conf)# ip route 19.1.1.0/24 19.1.1.1 name This_link_goes_to_London_Central
To view the description for the IPv4 or IPv6 static routes, use the show running-config static command. Following is the sample
show running-config static output:
DellEMC#show running-config static
!
ipv6 route 1::/32 GigabitEthernet 2/3 11::1 name Stack-2
ipv6 route 2::/32 GigabitEthernet 2/48 11::1 name Stack-2
ip route 2.2.2.0/24 GigabitEthernet 2/47 name Stack-2
ipv6 route 1001:1001::/64 GigabitEthernet 1/42 2001:2001::1 name
ipv6_link_going_to_europe_centre
ip route 19.1.1.0/24 19.1.1.1 name This_link_goes_to_London_Central
ipv6 route 1500:1500::/96 2500:2500::1 name Under-Sea_Links_to_Asia-Pacific
ip route 50.50.1.32/30 Vlan 210 name AZ!#$_Link_to_Asia_$#
ip route 199.1.1.0 /24 vlan 100 name "Uplink To NewYork"
ip route 100.1.1.0/24 Vlan 100 name Any_Description_upto_32_characte
ip route 199.1.1.0/24 GigabitEthernet 1/41 name Added_Description_for_StaticRoute
NOTE:
You can view the description of the configured static routes only using the show running-config static
command.
Configure Static Routes for the Management
Interface
When an IP address that a protocol uses and a static management route exists for the same prefix, the protocol route takes precedence
over the static management route.
To configure a static route for the management port, use the following command.
• Assign a static route to point to the management interface or forwarding router.
CONFIGURATION mode
management route ip-address mask {forwarding-router-address | ManagementEthernet slot/port}
To view the configured static routes for the management port, use the show ip management-route command in EXEC privilege
mode.
Dell#show ip management-route
