3Com Switch 8800 Advanced Software V5 Configuration Guide

Configuring a Static Route 261
n
■ If you specify the next hop of a static route and then configure the next hop as
the IP address of a local interface such as a VLAN interface, the static route
cannot take effect.
■ If you do not specify the preference when configuring a static route, the
default preference will be used. Reconfiguring the default preference applies
only to newly created static routes.
■ A description can describe the usage, function of some specific static routes for
easy and flexible management, classification and configuration of static routes.
■ You can flexibly control static routes by configuring tag values and using the
tag values in the routing policy.
■ If the destination IP address and mask are both configured as 0.0.0.0 with the
ip route-static command, the route is the default route.
