At the prompt, enter 0. The following output is displayed.

Example

   You specified network locations which might require
   static routes to reach. You will be asked to
   enter static routes until all the locations become
   reachable.
   Static routes should be entered in the following format:
   prefix/mask next-hop ip-address
   example:     192.168.0.0/16 next-hop 192.168.1.254
