D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 129
set ip route
Adds a static route to the IP route table.
Syntax: set ip route {default | ip-addr mask | ip-addr/mask-length} default-router metric
default Default route. A DWS-1008 switch uses the default route if an
explicit route is not available for the destination.
Note: default is an alias for IP address 0.0.0.0/0.
ip-addr mask IP address and subnet mask for the route destination, in
dotted decimal notation (for example, 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0).
ip-addr/mask-length IP address and subnet mask length in CIDR format (for example,
10.10.10.10/24).
default-router IP address, DNS hostname, or alias of the next-hop router.
metric Cost for using the route. You can specify a value from 0 through
2,147,483,647. Lower-cost routes are preferred over higher-
cost routes.
Access: Enabled.
Usage: MSS can use a static route only if a direct route in the route table resolves the static
route. MSS adds routes with next-hop types Local and Direct when you add an IP interface to a
VLAN, if the VLAN is up. If one of these added routes can resolve the static route, MSS can use
the static route.
Before you add a static route, use the show interface command to verify that the switch has an IP
interface in the same subnet as the route’s next-hop router. If not, the VLAN:Interface field of the
show ip route command output shows that the route is down.
You can configure a maximum of 4 routes per destination. This includes default routes, which
have destination 0.0.0.0/0. Each route to a given destination must have a unique router address.
When the route table contains multiple default or explicit routes to the same destination, MSS
uses the route with the lowest cost. If two or more routes to the same destination have the lowest
cost, MSS selects the first route in the route table.
When you add multiple routes to the same destination, MSS groups the routes and orders them
from lowest cost at the top of the group to highest cost at the bottom of the group. If you add a
new route that has the same destination and cost as a route already in the table, MSS places the
new route at the top of the group of routes with the same cost.
