set ip route

Use the set ip route command to add IP addresses or aliases to the IP routing table.

set ip route destination gateway [metric] [primary]

Syntax Description
destination  IP address or IP alias of the network or specific host to be added. Use default as the destination to set the new entry as the default route. 
gateway  IP address or IP alias of the router. 
metric  (Optional) Value used to indicate the number of hops between the switch and the gateway. 
primary  (Optional) Keyword used with the Multiple Default IP Gateways feature to specify the default IP gateway with the highest priority. 
Default

The default configuration routes the local network through the sc0 interface with metric 0 as soon as sc0 is configured.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

You can configure up to three default gateways. The primary is the highest priority. If a primary is not designated, priority is based on the order of input. If two primary definitions are entered, the second definition becomes the primary and the first definition is now the secondary default IP gateway.

Examples

This example shows how to add three default routes to the IP routing table, checking after each addition using the show ip route command:
