Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

To define an explicit route between two IPv6 networking devices, configure a static route on an interface. Static routing is useful for smaller networks with only one path to an outside network, or to provide security for certain traffic types in a larger network.

• Enter the static routing information including the IPv6 address and mask in x:x:x:x::x format in CONFIGURATION mode. The length is from 0 to 64.

  ipv6 route ipv6–prefix/mask {next-hop | interface interface [route-preference]}

  • next-hop — Enter the next-hop IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format.
  • interface interface — Enter the interface type then the slot/port or number information.
  • route-preference — (Optional) Enter a route-preference range, from 1 to 255.

After you configure a static IPv6 route, configure the forwarding router’s address on the interface. The IPv6 neighbor interface must have an IPv6 address configured.
