Configuring a tunnel as next hop

Note: ICX 7150 devices do not support tunnels.

To configure an IP static route with a tunnel as the next hop, follow these steps.

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```

Configure the destination IP address, followed by the prefix length or address mask. On the same command line, enter the keyword tunnel followed by the tunnel ID.
```
device(config)# ip route 10.128.2.71 255.255.255.0 tunnel 4
```

The following example configures an IP static route with a destination address of 10.128.2.71, a network mask of 255.255.255.0, and a tunnel gateway (tunnel 4) as the next hop.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ip route 10.128.2.71 255.255.255.0 tunnel 4
