Configure a Basic IPv6 Static Route

Specify the IPv6 destination address, the address mask, and the IPv6 address of the next hop.

Before you begin

Enable IPv6 on at least one interface by configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface.

Procedure

  1. Access global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
    
  2. Enter the route destination IPv6 address in hexadecimal with 16-bit values between colons, the address prefix length preceded by a slash, and the IPv6 address of the next-hop gateway.
    device(config)# ipv6 route 2001:DB8::0/32 2001:DB8:0:ee44::1
    
    Note

    Note

    The IPv6 address architecture is defined in RFC 2373.
