Configuring a static IPv6 route
This chapter provides information on how to configure a static IPv6 route. A
static IPv6 route
is a
manually configured route, which creates a path between two IPv6 routers. A static IPv6 route is
similar to a static IPv4 route. Static IPv6 routes have their advantages and disadvantages; for
example, a static IPv6 route does not generate updates, which reduces processing time for an IPv6
router. Conversely, if a static IPv6 route fails or if you want to change your network topology, you
might need to manually reconfigure the static IPv6 route.
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.
Before configuring a static IPv6 route, you must enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the router
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 a static IPv6 route”
on page 1267.
To configure a static IPv6 route for a destination network with the prefix 8eff::0/32, a next-hop
gateway with the global address 4fee:2343:0:ee44::1, and an administrative distance of 110,
enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 route 8eff::0/32 4fee:2343:0:ee44::1 distance 110
Syntax: ipv6 route
<dest-ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length>
<next-hop-ipv6-address>
[
<metric>
]
[distance
<number>
]
To configure a static IPv6 route for a destination network with the prefix 8eff::0/32 and a next-hop
gateway with the link-local address fe80::1 that the router can access through Ethernet interface
3/1, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 route 8eff::0/32 ethernet 1 fe80::1
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 8eff::0/32 and a next-hop
gateway that the router can access through tunnel 1, enter the following command.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 route 8eff::0/32 tunnel 1
Syntax: ipv6 route
<dest-ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> <interface> <port>
