NOTE
If you specify 16, RIP considers the metric to be infinite and thus also considers the route to be
unreachable.
The distance num variable specifies the administrative distance of the route. When comparing otherwise equal routes to a destination,
the Layer 3 switch prefers lower administrative distances over higher ones, so make sure you use a low value for your default route. The
default is 1.
NOTE
The Layer 3 switch will replace the static route if the it receives a route with a lower administrative distance.
NOTE
You can also assign the default router as the destination by entering 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Static route next hop resolution
This feature enables the Brocade device to use routes from a specified protocol to resolve a configured static route. By default this is
disabled.
To configure static route next hop resolution with OSPF routes, use the following command.
device(config)# ip route next-hop ospf
Syntax: [no] ip route next-hop [ bgp | ospf | rip ]
NOTE
This command can be independently applied on a per-VRF basis.
This command causes the resolution of static route next hop using routes learned from one of the following protocols:
• bgp - both iBGP and eBGP routes are used to resolve static routes.
• ospf
• rip
NOTE
Connected routes are always used to resolve static routes.
Naming a static IP route
You can assign a name to a static IP route. A static IP route name serves as a description of the route. The name can be used to more
readily reference or identify the associated static route.
NOTE
The static route name is an optional feature. It does not affect the selection of static
routes.
The Brocade device does not check for the uniqueness of names assigned to static routes. Static routes that have the same or different
next hops can have the same or different names. Due to this, the same name can be assigned to multiple static routes to group them.
The name is then used to reference or identify a group of static routes.
The option to assign a name to a static route is displayed after you select either an outgoing interface type or configure the next hop
address.
