loating Static Route and Default

Route Configuration

In this HCIA (HCNA) lesson we will focus on Huawei Floating Static Route and Default
Route on Huawe Routers. We will give examples for How to configure Huawei Floating
Static Route Configuration and Default Route Configuration. Let’s start.

You can test youself with Huawei HCIA Questions Page.

Floating Static Route Configuration


Floating Static Route is used for a Backup Static Route. A second route is defined with a
high Preference and if the first link fails, then this floating static route is used as a Backup.

For our example, we will use the below topology. And as you can see, the Grey link will be
configured as Backup to the destination (Floating Static Route).
Let’s configure this on both of the routers.

You can download this configuration on Huawei eNSP Labs Page.

<Huawei-Router1> system-view
[Huawei-Router1] ip route-static 10.10.30.0 24 GigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Huawei-Router1] ip route-static 10.10.30.0 24 GigabitEthernet 1/1/2 preference 110

<Huawei-Router1> system-view
[Huawei-Router2] ip route-static 10.10.30.0 24 GigabitEthernet 1/1/1
[Huawei-Router2] ip route-static 10.10.30.0 24 GigabitEthernet 1/1/2 preference 110

HCNA Course

It is not necessary that to configure both end with the same Floating Static Route
(Backup). Static Route is a Unidirectional configuration, so Backup Static Route is also
Unidirectional.

Floating Static Route Verification


With “display ip routing-table” command, we can see the Primary (Active) Static
Route on Routing Table. Here, you can see the Default Preference value (Preference 60).

When we closed the first link or it fails by itself, then the Backup Static Rotue will be used.
And as you can see below, the Preference value is 110 as we have configured.

Default Route Configuration


Default Route, is the route, that if no other destination, the routes are sent. In Huawei
Routers, Default Route is also a specific Static Route like other platforms.

Here, we will use the below topology for our Default Route Configuration.
We will write a Default Route to Router 1 and we will say that, if there is no other route, go
through Router 2 GigabitEthernet 1/1/1.We can do this with interface name or Next Hop
Interface IP.

<Huawei-Router> system-view

[Huawei-Router] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.0.2

Default Route Verification


“Display ip routing-table” command will show us the default route on Router 1. As you can
see, according to this route, always a destination is exist on the Routing Table.
