R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers Layer 3 - IP Routing Configuration Guide

Configuring static routing

Static routes are manually configured. If a network's topology is simple, you only need to configure static

routes for the network to work correctly.

Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the

network, the network administrator must modify the static routes manually.

Configuring a static route

Before you configure a static route, complete the following tasks:

• Configure physical parameters for related interfaces.

• Configure link-layer attributes for related interfaces.

• Configure IP addresses for related interfaces.

Follow these guidelines when you configure a static route:

• The next hop address of a static route cannot be the IP address of a local interface.

• You can associate a track entry with a static route to monitor the reachability of the next hops. For

more information about track, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

• The device supports VPN instances and MTR for static routes. For information about specifying VPN

instances for static routes, see MPLS Configuration Guide. For information about configuring static

route MTR, see "Configuring MTR."
