Static Routes Named

[Tiago Eduardo Zacarias]

Hello Guys,

I have a doubt regarding static routes with nex-hop appointed, the name given in the route serves as a reference for other routing instances or simply serves to describe the nex-hop?

Sample:

ip route 20.0.0.0 255.255.255.252  10.0.0.1  name  NETWORK-A

Hi,

'name' for identifying the purpose of static route.Incase if you have many static routes, you can issue 'name' to identitify purpose of each static route (to what network/destination etc)

As MS states, the name is really nothing more than an identifier on the local box.

HTH,
