ipv6 route
CLI Reference Guide

Practical Usage
Operators may prefer to specify a default path for the managed devices. By
specifying a default gateway, traffic inside the managed topology always has the
proper path to follow. Usually, routers on smaller networks may need this
configuration, since they have less CPU computing power or less memory to
keep the entire routing table of the topology.
Examples
Imagine the topology is illustrated below. The device on the edge may not have
enough power to forward all the IPv6 traffic to the world. Therefore, it needs a
default route to serve the connected IPv6 nodes to communicate with nodes on
Internet.
This example shows how to create a default route.
After configuring the default route, the edge router will forward the unknown IPv6
traffic to the core router. By doing this, users connected to the edge router can
connect to the world (WAN/internet).
This example shows how to delete an existing default route.
Configuring a
General Static
Route
To establish static IPv6 routes, use the
ipv6 route
command in global
configuration mode. To remove a previously configured static route, use the no
form of this command.
Default
No static routes are configured.
Switch > enable
