Download EPUBconfigure iproute add (IPV6)
configure iproute add ipv6Netmask [ipv6Gateway | ipv6ScopedGateway]
{metric} {vr
vr_name} {multicast | multicast-only | unicast | unicast-only}
Description
Adds an IPv6 static route to the routing table.
Syntax Description
| ipv6Netmask | Specifies an IPv6 address/prefix length. |
| ipv6Gateway | Specifies a gateway. |
| ipv6ScopedGateway | Specifies a scoped gateway. |
| metric | Specifies a cost metric. |
| vr_name | Specifies the VR or VRF to which the route is added. |
| multicast | Adds the specified route to the multicast routing table. |
| multicast-only | Adds the specified route to the multicast routing table. This option is provided for backward compatibility with releases prior to ExtremeXOS release 12.1. |
| unicast | Adds the specified route to the unicast routing table. |
| unicast-only | Adds the specified route to the unicast routing table. This option is provided for backward compatibility with releases prior to ExtremeXOS release 12.1. |
Default
If you do not specify a VR or VRF, the current VR context is used. If you do not specify a metric, then the default metric of 1 is used.
Usage Guidelines
Use a prefix length of 128 to indicate a host entry.
Note
Although dynamic unicast routes can be captured in the multicast routing table, unicast static routes cannot be captured in the multicast routing table. To create a static route for the multicast routing table, you must specify the multicast option.Example
The following example adds a static route to the routing table:
configure iproute add 2001:db8:0:1111::/64 fe80::1111%default
