Brocade Communications Systems 6650 manual Configuring a static IPv6 route

Static IPv6 route configuration 5

Before configuring a static IPv6 route, you must enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the Layer 3 switch using the ipv6 unicast-routingcommand 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” on page 111.

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.

Brocade(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 2001:DB8:0: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 2001:DB8::0/32 and a next-hop gateway with the link-local address 2001:DB8:1 that the Layer 3 switch can access through Ethernet interface 1/2/1, enter the following command.

Brocade(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 ethernet 1/2/1 2001:DB8:1

Syntax: ipv6 route <dest-ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> [ ethernet <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port> ve <num> ] <next-hop-ipv6-address> [<metric>] [distance <number>]

Specify Ethernet port in the <stack-unit>/<slot>/<port>format. Stack-unit is 1.

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.

Brocade(config)#ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 tunnel 1

Syntax: ipv6 route <dest-ipv6-prefix>/<prefix-length> <interface> <port> [<metric>] [distance <number>]

Table 24 describes the parameters associated with this command and indicates the status of each parameter.
