The
rip redistribute static
and
ospf redistribute static
commands do not
advertise static routes configured on the Ethernet management port. These
two commands only advertise static routes configured on the Ethernet
interface ports.
Use the
ip management route
command to configure static routes for the
Ethernet management port. This command is available in global configuration
mode.
The syntax for the
ip management route
command is:
ip management route
ip_address subnet_mask
ip_address2
The variables are as follows:
•
ip_address
- The destination network address. Enter the IP address in
dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.0).
•
subnet_mask
- The IP subnet mask. Enter the mask as either:
–
A prefix length in classless interdomain routing (CIDR) bit-count notation
(for example, /24).
–
An IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 255.255.255.0).
•
ip_address2
- The next hop address for the route. Enter the IP address in
dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.0).
For example, to configure a static route for the Ethernet management port, enter:
(config)#
ip management route 172.27.59.0 /24 172.27.56.86
To disable a static route for the Ethernet management port, enter:
(config)#
no ip management route 172.27.59.0 /24 172.27.56.86
Configuring a Default Gateway for the Ethernet Management Port
The Ethernet management port allows you to boot the CSS from the Offline DM
menu when the boot image resides on a different subnet. Use the
gateway address
command to configure a default gateway for the Ethernet management port. This
command is available in boot mode.
To specify a default gateway for the Ethernet management port for use in Offline
DM, enter:
(config)#
boot
(config-boot)#
gateway address 172.16.57.2
