Configure IPv6 Static Routes for a Management Instance

Use this task to configure IPv6 static routes for Management Instances.

About this task

For the Management Instance CLIP, you do not need to configure a default or static route. This interface type uses all routing information learned by protocols attached to the VRF. For more information about how to associate a VRF with the CLIP interface, see Configure a Segmented Management Instance.

For the Management Instance OOB and VLAN, you must configure a default or static route to reach the next-hop gateway; no routing protocol information is used to access off-link networks.

You can configure up to 100 IPv4 and IPv6 static routes.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Edit.
  2. Expand Mgmt Instance.
  3. Select Mgmt.
  4. Select the Ipv6StaticRoute tab.
  5. Select Insert.
  6. For the Instance, select elect the type of Management Instance interface.

Ipv6StaticRoute Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Ipv6StaticRoute tab.

Name

Description

Instance

Specifies the Management Instance.

DestAddr

Specifies the destination IP address.

DestPrefixLen

Specifies the destination prefix length.

NextHop

Specifies the next hop address for the static route.

Use an IP address in the same subnet as the management VLAN IP address.

IntfName

Specifies the Management Instance interface name for the route entry.

Metric

Specifies the static route cost. The default is 200.

The management CLIP uses an internal static route with a weight of 100. If you use both CLIP and VLAN and need to force all default traffic out the management VLAN interface, configure a default static route with a weight lower than 100.

State

Shows if the route is active or inactive.
