Static IPv6 routing To define an explicit route between two IPv6 networking devices, configure a static route on an interface. Static routing is useful for smaller networks with only one path to an outside network, or to provide security for certain traffic types in a larger network. • Enter the static routing information including the IPv6 address and mask in x:x:x:x::x format in CONFIGURATION mode. The length is from 0 to 64. ipv6 route ipv6-prefix/mask {next-hop | interface interface [route-preference]} ○ next-hop - Enter the next-hop IPv6 address in x:x:x:x::x format. ○ interface interface - Enter the interface type then the slot/port or number information. ○ route-preference - (Optional) Enter a route-preference range, from 1 to 255. After you configure a static IPv6 route, configure the forwarding router's address on the interface. The IPv6 neighbor interface must have an IPv6 address configured.

You can enable the capability to send an IPv6 destination unreachable error message to the source without dropping the packet. Enable IPv6 unreachable destination messaging OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/8 OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/8)# ipv6 unreachables IPv6 hop-by-hop options A hop-by-hop header extension in an IPv6 packet contains options that are processed by all IPv6 routers in the packet's path. By default, hop-by-hop header options in an IPv6 packet do not process locally. To enable local processing of IPv6 hop-by-hop options on an interface, use the ipv6 hop-by-hop command. Enable IPv6 hop-by-hop options forwarding OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/8 OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/8)# ipv6 hop-by-hop View IPv6 information To view IPv6 configuration information, use the show ipv6 route command. To view IPv6 address information, use the show address ipv6 command. View IPv6 connected information OS10# show ipv6 route connected Codes: C - connected S - static 648 Layer 3
