ip route
ip route <destip> <destmask> {<nexthop> [<cost>]|ipsec <name>|null 0}
Description
This command configures a static route on the controller.
Syntax
Parameter Description
<destip>
Enter the destination IP address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
<destmask>
Enter the destination netmask in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
<nexthop> [<cost>]
Enter the forwarding router address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
Optionally, enter the distance metric (cost) for this route. The cost prioritizes
routing to the destination. The lower the cost, the higher the priority.
ipsec <name>

route map.
null 0
Enter the key word null 0 to designate a null interface.
Usage Guidelines
This command configures a static route on the controller other than the default gateway. Use the ip default-
gateway command to set the default gateway to the IP address of the interface on the upstream router or
switch to which you connect the controller.
Example
The following command configures a static route:
(host) (config) #ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.1.1
