+STATIC

+:abbr:`STATIC` is a daemon that handles the installation and deletion
+of static routes.

+Starting STATIC
+===============
+
+Default configuration file for *staticd* is :file:`staticd.conf`.  The typical
+location of :file:`staticd.conf` is |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/staticd.conf.
+
+If the user is using integrated config, then :file:`staticd.conf` need not be
+present and the :file:`frr.conf` is read instead.
+
+If the user has not fully upgraded to using the staticd.conf and still has
+a non-integrated config with zebra.conf holding the static routes, *staticd*
+will read in the :file:`zebrad.conf` as a backup.
+
+.. program:: staticd
+
+:abbr:`STATIC` supports all the common FRR daemon start options which are
+documented elsewhere.

+Static Route Commands
+=====================
+
+Static routing is a very fundamental feature of routing technology. It defines
+a static prefix and gateway, with several possible forms.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK GATEWAY [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK IFNAME [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK GATEWAY IFNAME [DISTANCE] [onlink] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK (Null0|blackhole|reject) [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] GATEWAY [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] IFNAME [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] GATEWAY IFNAME [DISTANCE] [onlink] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] (Null0|blackhole|reject) [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+   NETWORK is destination prefix with a valid v4 or v6 network based upon
+   initial form of the command.
+   
+   GATEWAY is the IP address to use as next-hop for the prefix. Currently, it must match
+   the v4 or v6 route type specified at the start of the command.
+
+   IFNAME is the name of the interface to use as next-hop. If only IFNAME is specified
+   (without GATEWAY), a connected route will be created.
+
+   When both IFNAME and GATEWAY are specified together, it binds the route to the specified
+   interface. In this case, it is also possible to specify ``onlink`` to force the kernel
+   to consider the next-hop as "on link" on the given interface.
+
+   Alternatively, the gateway can be specified as ``Null0`` or ``blackhole`` to create a blackhole
+   route that drops all traffic. It can also be specified as ``reject`` to create an unreachable
+   route that rejects traffic with ICMP "Destination Unreachable" messages.
+
+   TABLENO is an optional parameter for namespaces that allows you to create the
+   route in a specified table associated with the vrf namespace. ``table`` will
+   be rejected if you are not using namespace based vrfs.
+   
+   ``vrf`` VRFNAME allows you to create the route in a specified vrf.
+
+   ``nexthop-vrf`` VRFNAME allows you to create a leaked route with a nexthop in the
+   specified VRFNAME. ``nexthop-vrf`` cannot be currently used with namespace based vrfs.
+   
+   The IPv6 variant allows the installation of a static source-specific route
+   with the SRCPREFIX sub command.  These routes are currently supported
+   on Linux operating systems only, and perform AND matching on packet's
+   destination and source addresses in the kernel's forwarding path. Note
+   that destination longest-prefix match is "more important" than source
+   LPM, e.g.  ``2001:db8:1::/64 from 2001:db8::/48`` will win over
+   ``2001:db8::/48 from 2001:db8:1::/64`` if both match.
+
+.. _multiple-route-command:
+
+Multiple nexthop static route
+=============================
+
+To create multiple nexthops to the same NETWORK, just reenter the same
+network statement with different nexthop information.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.2
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.3
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 eth0
+
+
+If there is no route to 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, and interface eth0
+is reachable, then the last route is installed into the kernel.
+
+If zebra has been compiled with multipath support, and both 10.0.0.2 and
+10.0.0.3 are reachable, zebra will install a multipath route via both
+nexthops, if the platform supports this.
+
+::
+
+   router> show ip route
+   S>  10.0.0.1/32 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2 inactive
+       via 10.0.0.3 inactive
+     *       is directly connected, eth0
+
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.2
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.3
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 null0 255
+
+
+This will install a multihop route via the specified next-hops if they are
+reachable, as well as a high-distance blackhole route, which can be useful to
+prevent traffic destined for a prefix to match less-specific routes (e.g.
+default) should the specified gateways not be reachable. E.g.:
+
+::
+
+   router> show ip route 10.0.0.0/8
+   Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
+     Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0
+       10.0.0.2 inactive
+       10.0.0.3 inactive
+
+   Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
+     Known via "static", distance 255, metric 0
+       directly connected, Null0
+
+Also, if the user wants to configure a static route for a specific VRF, then
+a specific VRF configuration mode is available. After entering into that mode
+with :clicmd:`vrf VRF` the user can enter the same route command as before,
+but this time, the route command will apply to the VRF.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   # case with VRF
+   configure
+   vrf r1-cust1
+    ip route 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.2
+   exit-vrf
+
+
+SR-TE Route Commands
+====================
+
+It is possible to specify a route using a SR-TE policy configured in Zebra.
+
+e.g. to use the SR-TE policy with endpoint 6.6.6.6 and color 123 to reach the
+network 9.9.9.9/24:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+  ip route 9.9.9.9/24 6.6.6.6 color 123
