Layer 3 Routing Commands 1622
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
ipv6 route distance
ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix-length {ipv6-address | interface-type ipv6-
address} [
preference ]
no ipv6 route
ipv6-prefix/prefix-length ipv6-address preference
no ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix-length interface-type ipv6-address
no ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix-length interface
• 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 0 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)
Default Configuration
1 is the default value for preference .
