Usage
Information
When the interface goes down, FTOS withdraws the route. The route is re-installed, by
FTOS, when the interface comes back up. When a recursive resolution is “broken,” FTOS
withdraws the route. The route is re-installed, by FTOS, when the recursive resolution is
satisfied.
After an IPv6 static route interface is created, if an IP address is not assigned to a peer
interface, the peer must be manually pinged to resolve the neighbor information.

Commands
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.
