Adding description for IPv4 and IPv6 static routes

Dell EMC Networking OS provides support to add a description for the IPv4 or IPv6 static route configurations. A name option is introduced to provide the description about the static route configured. This feature enables you to segregate or distinguish between the configured IPv4 or IPv6 static routes.

Following is the syntax of the {ip | ipv6} route command with the name option:

{ip | ipv6} route [vrf vrf-name] ip-address mask {ip-address | interface [ip-address]} [distance] [name description] [permanent] [tag tag-value] [vrf vrf-name] [weight weight-value]

You can enter up to 32 characters as the name or description for this route. These description can be a combination of numbers, special characters, and alphabets. To add multiple strings using space, use double quotes.

Following is the sample configuration steps to provide the descriptions for the IPv4 and IPv6 static route configuration:

DellEMC(conf)# ip route 199.1.1.0 /24 vlan 100 name "Uplink To NewYork"
DellEMC(conf)# ipv6 route 1001:1001::/64 GigabitEthernet 1/42 2001:2001::1 name ipv6_link_going_to_europe_centre
DellEMC(conf)# ip route 19.1.1.0/24 19.1.1.1 name This_link_goes_to_London_Central

To view the description for the IPv4 or IPv6 static routes, use the show running-config static command. Following is the sample show running-config static output:

DellEMC#show running-config static
