1118 IPv6 Routing Commands
ipv6 route
Use the ipv6 route command in Global Configuration mode to configure an
IPv6 static route. Use the no form of the command to remove a preference,
an individual next hop, or all next hops for a route. Using the no ipv6 route
distance form causes the system to use the system default administrative
distance.

Syntax Description
Parameter Description
distance The default administrative distance for static routes. (Range 1-
255)
ipv6-prefix An IPv6 prefix representing the subnet that can be reached via
the next-hop neighbor.
prefix-length The length of the IPv6 prefix — a decimal value (usually 0-64)
that shows how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the
address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the
address). A slash mark must separate the prefix from the prefix-
length with no spaces on either side of the slash mark.
interface-type Distinguishes direct static routes from point-to-point and
broadcast interfaces, and must be specified when using a link-
local address as the next hop. Interface-type can be Null or vlan
plus vlan-id or tunnel plus tunnel-id.
ipv6-address The IPv6 address of the next hop neighbor.
preference The administrative distance the router uses to compare this
route with routes from other route sources that have the same
destination. (Range: 1-255)
