Configure the IPv6 route using a next-hop IPv6 address in order for the ping
command to detect the destination address.
ipv6-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.
distance (OPTIONAL) Enter a number as the metric distance assigned to the route. The
range is from 1 to 255.
name description (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword name and the description for the IPv6 static route

permanent (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword permanent to specify that the route is not to be
removed, even if the interface assigned to that route goes down.
NOTE: If you disable the interface with an IPv6 address associated with the
keyword permanent, the route disappears from the routing table.

value
Enter the keyword weight followed by a weight value. The range is from 0 to 255.
