Static IPv6 route configuration
NOTE
Static IPv6 route configuration is supported only with the IPv6 Layer 3 license on FSX devices and the
full Layer 3 image on other devices.
You can configure a static IPv6 route to be redistributed into a routing protocol, but you cannot
redistribute routes learned by a routing protocol into the static IPv6 routing table.
NOTE
The maximum IPv6 static routes supported on an ICX 6450 device is 1070.
Before configuring a static IPv6 route, you must enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the Layer 3
switch using the
ipv6 unicast-routing
command and enable IPv6 on at least one interface by
configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface. For more information on
performing these configuration tasks, refer to "Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks" section in the
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide
.
Configuring a static IPv6 route
To configure a static IPv6 route for a destination network with the prefix 2001:DB8::0/32, a next-hop
gateway with the global address 2001:DB8:0:ee44::1, and an administrative distance of 110, enter the
following command.
device(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 2001:DB8:2343:0:ee44::1 distance 110
Syntax:
ipv6 route dest-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length
next-hop-ipv6-address

To configure a static IPv6 route for a destination network with the prefix 2001:DB8::0/32 and a next-hop
gateway with the link-local address fe80::1 that the Layer 3 switch can access through Ethernet
interface 1/3/1, enter the following command.
device(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 ethernet 1/3/1 fe80::1
Syntax:
ipv6 route dest-ipv6-prefix / prefix-length

To configure a static IPv6 route for a destination network with the prefix 2001:DB8::0/32 and a next-hop
gateway that the Layer 3 switch can access through tunnel 1, enter the following command.
device(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 tunnel 1
