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 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 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.
