Configuring an IPv6 default route
An IPv6 default route is used to forward packets that match no entry in the routing table.
An IPv6 default route can be configured in either of the following ways:
•
The network administrator can configure a default route with a destination prefix of ::/0. For
more information, see
•
Some dynamic routing protocols, such as OSPFv3, RIPng, and IPv6 IS-IS, can generate an
IPv6 default route. For example, an upstream router running OSPFv3 can generate an IPv6
default route and advertise it to other routers, which install the IPv6 default route with the next
hop being the upstream router. For more information, see the configuration guides of relevant
routing protocols.
