ipv6 route next-hop-vrf

Parameters

dest-ipv6-prefix

Destination IPv6 prefix in hexadecimal with 16-bit values between colons, as specified in RFC 2373.

prefix-length

A decimal value specifying the length of the IPv6 address prefix.

next-hop-ipv6-address

IPv6 address of the next-hop gateway.

next-hop-vrf vrf_name next-hop-ipv6-address

Specifies a VRF instance and a next-hop IPv6 address.

metric

Specifies a value that the Layer 3 switch uses to compare this route to other static routes in the IPv6 static route table that have the same destination. The metric applies only to routes that the Layer 3 switch has already placed in the IPv6 static route table. Two or more routes to the same destination with the same metric will load share (as in ECMP load sharing). The range is from 1 through 16. The default is 1.

distance number

Specifies an administrative distance. The range is from 1 through 254. The default is 1. This is a value that the Layer 3 switch uses to compare this route with routes from other route sources that have the same destination. By default, static routes take precedence over routes learned by routing protocols. To choose a dynamic route over a static route, configure the static route with a higher administrative distance than the dynamic route. A distance of 255 is considered unreachable.

tag

Specifies a tag value for the route. The route tag can be used for route redistribution to routing protocols by means of route maps (as in IPv4 static route redistribution).

tag-number

A number from 0 through 4294967295. The default is 0.
