Configuration guidelines
When you configure a static route, follow these guidelines:
• If you do not specify the preference, the default preference is used. Reconfiguration of the
default preference applies only to newly created static routes. The Web interface does not
support configuration of the default preference.
• If you specify the next hop address first and then configure it as the IP address of a local
interface, such as an Ethernet interface and VLAN interface, the static route does not take
effect.
• When you specify the output interface, note the following:
If Null 0 or a loopback interface is specified as the output interface, there is no need to
configure the next hop.
If a point-to-point interface is specified as the output interface, you do not need to specify
the next hop, and there is no need to change the configuration after the peer address has
changed. For example, a PPP interface obtains the peer's IP address through PPP
negotiation. Therefore, you only need to specify it as the output interface.
If the output interface is an NBMA or P2MP interface, which supports point-to-multipoint
networks, the IP address-to-link layer address mapping must be established. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise recommends specifying the next hop when you configure it as the
output interface.
If you want to specify a broadcast interface (such as an Ethernet interface, virtual template,
or VLAN interface) as the output interface, which can have multiple next hops, you must
specify the next hop at the same time.
