configure iproute add (IPV6)

configure iproute add ipv6Netmask [ipv6Gateway | ipv6ScopedGateway] {bfd} {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.
bfd Enables Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protection for the IPv6 route.
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

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

History

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.

Support for IPv6 was added in ExtremeXOS 11.2.

Platform Availability

This command is available on the platforms listed for the IPv6 unicast routing feature in the Switch Engine 32.7.1 Feature License Requirements document.
