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-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 IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks” on
page111.
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.
