Configuring Static Routes For Ipv6 - Cisco WS-C3020 Software Configuration Manual

Configuring IPv6
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the ICMP rate-limiting parameters:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 ipv6 icmp error-interval interval [bucketsize]
Step 3 end
Step 4 show ipv6 interface [interface-id]
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To return to the default configuration, use the no ipv6 icmp error-interval global configuration
command.
This example shows how to configure an IPv6 ICMP error message interval of 50 milliseconds and a
bucket size of 20 tokens.
Switch(config)#ipv6 icmp error-interval 50 20

Configuring Static Routes for IPv6

Static routes are manually configured and define an explicit route between two networking devices. The
benefits of static routes include security and resource efficiency. Static routes use less bandwidth than
dynamic routing protocols because there is no requirement for routes to be calculated and
communicated. The main disadvantage of using static routes is that static routes are not automatically
updated, as with a dynamic routing protocol, and must be manually reconfigured if the network topology
changes. Static routes are useful for smaller networks with only one path to an outside network or to
provide security for a larger network for certain types of traffic.
There are types of static routes:

Directly attached static routes—Only the output interface is specified because the destination is
assumed to be directly attached to this interface. The packet destination is used as the next hop
address. A directly attached static route is valid only when the specified interface is IPv6-enabled
and is up.
Recursive static routes—Only the next hop is specified, and the output interface is derived from the
next hop. A recursive static route is valid only when the specified next hop results in a valid IPv6
output interface, the route does not self-recur, and the recursion depth does not exceed the maximum
IPv6 forwarding recursion depth.
Fully specified static routes—Both the output interface and the next hop are specified. The next hop
is assumed to be directly attached to the specified output interface. A fully specified route is valid
when the specified IPv6 interface is IPv6-enabled and up.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the interval and bucket size for IPv6 ICMP error
messages:
interval—The interval (in milliseconds) between tokens
•
being added to the bucket. The range is from 0 to
2147483647 milliseconds.
bucketsize—(Optional) The maximum number of tokens
•
stored in the bucket. The range is from 1 to 200.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
