Configuring IP
HP9300(config)# ip route 192.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 ethernet 4/1
The command in the example above configures a static IP route for destination network 192.128.2.69/24. Since
an Ethernet port is specified instead of a gateway IP address as the next hop, the routing switch always forwards
traffic for the 192.128.2.69/24 network to port 4/1. The command in the following example configures an IP static
route that uses virtual interface 3 as its next hop.
HP9300(config)# ip route 192.128.2.71 255.255.255.0 ve 3
Syntax: ip route <dest-ip-addr> <dest-mask>
<next-hop-ip-addr> |
ethernet <portnum> | ve <num>
[<metric>] [distance <num>]
or
Syntax: ip route <dest-ip-addr>/<mask-bits>
<next-hop-ip-addr> |
ethernet <portnum> | ve <num>
[<metric>] [distance <num>]
The <dest-ip-addr> is the route’s destination. The <dest-mask> is the network mask for the route’s destination IP
address. Alternatively, you can specify the network mask information by entering a forward slash followed by the
number of bits in the network mask. For example, you can enter 192.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 as 192.0.0.0/.24.
The <next-hop-ip-addr> is the IP address of the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
If you do not want to specify a next-hop IP address, you can instead specify a port or interface number on the
routing switch. The <num> parameter is a virtual interface number. If you instead specify an Ethernet port, the
<portnum> is the port’s number (including the slot number, if you are configuring an HP 9304M or HP 9308M). In
this case, the routing switch forwards packets destined for the static route’s destination network to the specified
interface. Conceptually, this feature makes the destination network like a directly connected network, associated
with a specific routing switch interface.
NOTE: The port or virtual interface you use for the static route’s next hop must have at least one IP address
configured on it. The address does not need to be in the same sub-net as the destination network.
The <metric> parameter can be a number from 1 – 16. The default is 1.
NOTE: If you specify 16, RIP considers the metric to be infinite and thus also considers the route to be
unreachable.
The distance <num> parameter specifies the administrative distance of the route. When comparing otherwise
equal routes to a destination, the routing 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 routing switch will replace the static route if the routing switch receives a route with a lower
administrative distance. See “Changing Administrative Distances” on page 10-30 for a list of the default
administrative distances for all types of routes.
NOTE: You can also assign the default router as the destination by entering 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
