Example
The following example configure an IPv6 static route.

ipv6 route distance
Use the ipv6 route distance command in Global Configuration mode to set
the default distance (preference) for static routes. Lower route preference
values are preferred when determining the best route. The
ipv6 route
and
ipv6 route default
commands allow optional setting of the distance of an
individual static route. The default distance is used when no distance is
specified in these commands. Changing the default distance does not update
the distance of existing static routes, even if they were assigned the original
default distance. The new default distance is applied to static routes created
after invoking the ipv6 route distance command.
