Configuring Ipv6 Static Routing; Overview - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Configuring IPv6 static routing

Overview

Static routes are manually configured. If a network's topology is simple, you only need to configure static
routes for the network to work correctly.
Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the
network, the network administrator has to modify the static routes manually.
Similar to IPv4 static routes, IPv6 static routes work well in simple IPv6 network environments.
Configuring IPv6 static routing
Before you configure an IPv6 static route, complete the following tasks:
Configure parameters for the related interfaces.
•
Configure link layer attributes for the related interfaces.
•
Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
•
Make sure that the neighboring nodes can reach each other.
•
To configure an IPv6 static route:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure an IPv6 static route.
3. Delete all IPv6 static routes,
including the default route.
Command
system-view

Method 1:
ipv6 route-static ipv6-address prefix-length
{ interface-type interface-number
[ next-hop-address ] | next-hop-address |
vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name
next-hop-address } [ preference
preference-value ]
•
Method 2:
ipv6 route-static vpn-instance
s-vpn-instance-name&<1-6> ipv6-address
prefix-length { interface-type
interface-number [ next-hop-address ] |
next-hop-address [ public ] | vpn-instance
d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address }
[ preference preference-value ]
delete ipv6 [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

Remarks
N/A
Use either method.
By default, no IPv6
static route is
configured.
Optional.
The undo ipv6
route-static command
deletes one IPv6 static
route.
