Create IPv6 Static Routes
Perform the steps in this task to:
-
Create static routes for data traffic in either the GRT or a specific VRF context for any platform.
-
Create static routes for a VRF associated with a Segmented Management Instance CLIP interface.
Static routes for the management OOB, if supported, and management VLAN must use the Segmented Management Instance. For more information, see Fabric Engine User Guide. The management CLIP can use the Segmented Management Instance or routes in the associated VRF routing table manager (RTM).
Before you begin
Enable IPv6 forwarding.
-
Change the VRF instance as required. For information about how to use EDM for a non-default VRF, see Select and Launch a VRF Context View. Not all parameters are configurable on non-default VRFs.
Procedure
Static Routes Field Descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the Static Routes tab.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Dest |
Specifies the IPv6 destination network address. The prefix value must match the PrefixLength. |
PrefixLength |
Specifies the number bits you want to advertise from the prefix. The prefix value must match the value in the Dest field. The range is 0 to 128. |
NextHop |
Specifies the IPv6 address of the next hop on this route. You do not need to specify the next hop if the devices directly connect to one another. Configure the next hop if the two nodes do not share the same network prefix but reside on the same link. |
Interface |
Specifies the interface to which this entry applies. You must specify the port or VLAN if the next hop is a link-local address. |
Cost |
Specifies the cost or distance ratio to reach the destination for this node. The range is 1-65535. The default value is 1. |
Name Note:
This field does not apply to 5320 Series switches. |
Specifies the name for the static route. |
Enable |
Enables the static route on the port. The default value is enable. |
Status |
Shows the status of the static route as one of the following:
|
Preference |
Specifies the routing preference of the destination IPv6 address. The range is 1-255. The default value is 5. |
