Chapter 8: IPv6 routing configuration using
Enterprise Device Manager
This chapter describes Enterprise Device Manager procedures to configure IPv6 static routes and the
Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) protocol in the Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600.
Routers exchange network topology information with the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol. For
conceptual information relating to static routes and OSPF, see IPv6 routing fundamentals on page 17.

Creating IPv6 static routes
To improve the static route management, you can change static routes directly with the IPv6
static routing table manager. The static routing table is separate from the system routing table,
which the router uses to control forwarding. Although the tables are separate, entries in the
static routing table manager automatically change in the system routing table if the next-hop
address in the static route is reachable and the static route is enabled.
Use static routes to manually configure routes to destination IPv6 address prefixes.
