Configuring a Static Route

The management network interface does not participate in dynamic route calculation. Thus, in the scenario where the device to be commissioned is connected to the NMS through the management network interface, and the IP address of the management network interface and the IP address of the NMS are not on the same network segment, you can configure static routes to enable the Layer 3 communication between the device and the NMS.

the Huawei ME60-X3 to be commissioned is connected to the NMS through the management network interface GE 0/0/0. The IP address of the management network interface and the IP address of the NMS are not on the same network segment.

The management network interface does not participate in dynamic route calculation. Thus, you need to configure static routes to enable the Layer 3 communication between the ME60 and the NMS.

# After the configuration is complete, run the display ip routing-table command on ME60 to check whether there is a static route in the routing table.

<HUAWEI> display ip routing-table

Route Flags: R - relay, D - download to fib
