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 for static routes. For information about specifying VPN instances
for static routes, see MPLS Configuration Guide.
To configure a static route:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Configure a static
route.
• Method 1:
ip route-static dest-address { mask | mask-length }
{ next-hop-address [ track track-entry-number ] |
interface-type interface-number [ next-hop-address ] |
vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address
[ track track-entry-number ] } [ preference
preference-value ] [ tag tag-value ] [ permanent ]
[ description description-text ]
• Method 2:
ip route-static vpn-instance
s-vpn-instance-name&<1-6> dest-address { mask |
mask-length } { next-hop-address [ public ] [ track
track-entry-number ] | interface-type interface-number
[ next-hop-address ] | vpn-instance
d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address [ track
track-entry-number ] } [ preference preference-value ]
[ tag tag-value ] [ permanent ] [ description
description-text ]
Use either method.
By default, no static
route is configured.
3. Configure the
default preference
for static routes.
ip route-static default-preference default-preference-value
Optional.
60 by default.
