Installation and Getting Started Guide
The following commands configure static IP routes to the same destination, but with different metrics. The route
with the lowest metric is used by default. The other routes are backups in case the first route becomes unavailable.
The routing switch uses the route with the lowest metric if the route is available.
HP9300(config)# ip route 192.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 209.157.22.1
HP9300(config)# ip route 192.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 192.111.10.1 2
HP9300(config)# ip route 192.128.2.69 255.255.255.0 201.1.1.1 3
In this example, each static route has a different metric. The metric is not specified for the first route, so the default
(1) is used. A metric is specified for the second and third static IP routes. The second route has a metric of two
and the third route has a metric of 3. Thus, the second route is used only of the first route (which has a metric
of 1) becomes unavailable. Likewise, the third route is used only if the first and second routes (which have lower
metrics) are both unavailable.
For complete syntax information, see “Configuring a Static IP Route” on page 6-38.
