# Static Route

To configure a static route, use the command:

```
ip route <destination-address> <mask> <next-hop>
```

### Example

Here we configure a **default route**:

```
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254
```

After this, the result of ***show ip route*** will contains:

```
...
Gateway of last resort is 192.168.1.254 to network 0.0.0.0

S*    0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.1.254
...
```

* **S** - **Static**
* **\*** - **Candidate default**
