IPv6 Commands
7-14
v1.0, July 2010
ipv6 route distance
This command sets the default distance (preference) for IPv6 static routes. Lower route distance
values are preferred when determining the best route. The
ipv6 route
command allows you to
optionally set the distance (preference) of an individual static route. The default distance is used
when no distance is specified in this command.
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 will only be applied to static
routes created after invoking the
ipv6 route distance
command.
no ipv6 route distance
This command resets the default static route preference value in the router to the original default
preference. Lower route preference values are preferred when determining the best route.
ipv6 mtu
This command sets the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size, in bytes, of IPv6 packets on an
interface. This command replaces the default or link MTU with a new MTU value.
