Syntax
ipv6 route ipv6-address prefix-length {ipv6-address | interface
| interface ipv6-address} [distance] [tag value] [permanent]
To remove the IPv6 route, use the no ipv6 route ipv6-address prefix-
length {ipv6-address | interface | interface ipv6-address}
[distance] [tag value] [permanent] command.
Parameters
ipv6-address
prefix-length
interface
ipv6-address
distance
IPv6 Basics
Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format then the prefix
length in the /x format. The range is from /0 to /128.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal
fields of zeros.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the following keywords and slot/port or
number information:
•
For a loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback
then a number from zero (0) to 16383.
•
For the null interface, enter the keyword null then zero
(0).
•
For a port channel interface, enter the keyword port-
channel then the port channel number. The range is
from 1 to 128.
•
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
•
For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
•
For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then
the tunnel interface number. The range is from 1 to
16383.
•
For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword VLAN then the
vlan number. The range is from 1 to 4094.
If you configure a static IPv6 route using an egress interface
and enter the ping command to reach the destination IPv6
address, the ping operation may not work. Configure the
IPv6 route using a next-hop IPv6 address in order for the
ping command to detect the destination address.
(OPTIONAL) Enter the forwarding router IPv6 address in the
x:x:x:x::x format.
NOTE: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal
fields of zeros.
(OPTIONAL) Enter a number as the metric distance assigned
to the route. The range is from 1 to 255.
