Chapter 39 Configuring IPv6 Unicast Routing

Configuring IPv6

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure an IPv6 static route:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix length	Configure a static IPv6 route.
	{ipv6-address interface-id [ipv6-address]}	• ipv6-prefix—The IPv6 network that is the destination of the
	[administrative distance]
		static route. It can also be a hostname when static host routes are
		configured.
		• /prefix length—The length of the IPv6 prefix. A decimal value
		that shows how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the
		address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address).
		A slash mark must precede the decimal value.
		• ipv6-address—The IPv6 address of the next hop that can be used
		to reach the specified network. The IPv6 address of the next hop
		need not be directly connected; recursion is done to find the
		IPv6 address of the directly connected next hop. The address
		must be in the form documented in RFC 2373, specified in
		hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
		• interface-id—Specify direct static routes from point-to-point
		and broadcast interfaces. With point-to-point interfaces, there is
		no need to specify the IPv6 address of the next hop. With
		broadcast interfaces, you should always specify the IPv6
		address of the next hop, or ensure that the specified prefix is
		assigned to the link, specifying a link-local address as the next
		hop. You can optionally specify the IPv6 address of the next hop
		to which packets are sent.
		Note You must specify an interface-idwhen using a link-local
		address as the next hop (the link-local next hop must also be
		an adjacent router).

•administrative distance—(Optional) An administrative distance. The range is 1 to 254; the default value is 1, which gives static routes precedence over any other type of route except connected routes. To configure a floating static route, use an administrative distance greater than that of the dynamic routing protocol.

Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
