DGS-6604 Practical Usage Examples ipv6 route Operators may prefer to specify a default path for the managed devices. By specifying a default gateway, traffic inside the managed topology always has the proper path to follow. Usually, routers on smaller networks may need this configuration, since they have less CPU computing power or less memory to keep the entire routing table of the topology. Imagine the topology is illustrated below. The device on the edge may not have enough power to forward all the IPv6 traffic to the world. Therefore, it needs a default route to serve the connected IPv6 nodes to communicate with nodes on Internet. This example shows how to create a default route. Switch > enable Switch # configure terminal Switch (config) # ipv6 route ::/0 vlan 1 fe80::0200:00ff:fe00:a0a0 After configuring the default route, the edge router will forward the unknown IPv6 traffic to the core router. By doing this, users connected to the edge router can connect to the world (WAN/internet). This example shows how to delete an existing default route. Switch > enable Switch # configure terminal Switch (config) # no ipv6 route ::/0 vlan 1 fe80::0200:00ff:fe00:a0a0 Configuring a General Static Route Default To establish static IPv6 routes, use the ipv6 route command in global configuration mode. To remove a previously configured static route, use the no form of this command. No static routes are configured. CLI Reference Guide 353
