Populating the Routing Table

The switch maintains an IP routing table for both network routes and host routes. The table is populated from the following sources:

Dynamically, by way of routing protocol packets or by ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) redirects exchanged with other routers
Statically, by way of routes entered by the administrator:
- Default routes, configured by the administrator
- Locally, by way of interface addresses assigned to the system
- By other static routes, as configured by the administrator

Once routes are populated using the above method, IPv6 forwarding needs to be enabled on the VLAN (Virtual LAN) using the following command:

enable ipforwarding ipv6 {vlan vlan_name | tunnel tunnel_name | vr vr_name}

Note

If you define a default route and subsequently delete the VLAN on the subnet associated with the default route, the invalid default route entry remains. You must manually delete the configured default route.
