Configuring Ipv6 Static Routing; Overview - HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 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. Proper configuration and use can improve network
performance and ensure enough bandwidth for important applications.
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
Enter system view.

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.
