DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Configures a static IPv6 route.
ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/prefix length
{ipv6-address | interface-id
[ipv6-address]} [administrative distance]
Step 2
• ipv6-prefix—The IPv6 network that is the destination of the static route. It
can also be a hostname when static host routes are configured.
Example:
Switch(config)# ipv6 route
• /prefix length—The length of the IPv6 prefix. A decimal value that shows
how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the
prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the
decimal value.

• ipv6-address—The IPv6 address of the next hop that can be used to reach
the specified network. The IPv6 address of the next hop need not be directly
connected; recursion is done to find the IPv6 address of the directly
connected next hop. The address must be in the form documented in RFC
2373, specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.
• interface-id—Specifies direct static routes from point-to-point and broadcast
interfaces. With point-to-point interfaces, there is no need to specify the
IPv6 address of the next hop. With broadcast interfaces, you should always
specify the IPv6 address of the next hop, or ensure that the specified prefix
is assigned to the link, specifying a link-local address as the next hop. You
can optionally specify the IPv6 address of the next hop to which packets
are sent.
You must specify an interface-id when using a link-local address as the
next hop (the link-local next hop must also be an adjacent router).
Note
• administrative distance—(Optional) An administrative distance. The range
is 1 to 254; the default value is 1, which gives static routes precedence over
any other type of route except connected routes. To configure a floating
static route, use an administrative distance greater than that of the dynamic
routing protocol.

Example:
Switch(config)# end
Step 3
Verifies your entries by displaying the contents of the IPv6 routing table.Use one of the following:
Step 4
•
show ipv6 static [ ipv6-address |
ipv6-prefix/prefix length ]
• interface interface-id—(Optional) Displays only those static routes with
the specified interface as an egress interface.
