402 Brocade ICX 6650 Layer 3 Routing
53-1002603-01
Static IPv6 route configuration
Table 74 describes the parameters associated with this command and indicates the status of each
parameter.
A metric is a value that the Layer 3 switch uses when comparing this route to other static routes in
the IPv6 static route table that have the same destination. The metric applies only to routes that
the Layer 3 switch has already placed in the IPv6 static route table.
TABLE 74 Static IPv6 route parameters
Parameter Configuration details Status
The IPv6 prefix and prefix length
of the route’s destination
network. You must specify the dest-ipv6-prefix
parameter in hexadecimal using
16-bit values between colons as
documented in RFC 2373.
You must specify the prefix-length
parameter as a decimal value. A
slash mark (/) must follow the
ipv6-prefix parameter and precede
the prefix-length parameter. Mandatory for all static IPv6 routes.
The route’s next-hop gateway,
which can be one of the following:
•
The IPv6 address of a
next-hop gateway.
•
A tunnel interface.
You can specify the next-hop gateway
as one of the following types of IPv6
addresses:
•
A global address.
•
A link-local address.
If you specify a global address, you do
not need to specify any additional
parameters for the next-hop gateway.
If you specify a link-local address, you
must also specify the interface
through which to access the address.
You can specify one of the following
interfaces:
•
An Ethernet interface.
•
A tunnel interface.
•
A virtual interface (VE).
If you specify an Ethernet interface,
also specify the port number
associated with the interface. If you
specify a VE or tunnel interface, also
specify the VE or tunnel number.
You can also specify the next-hop
gateway as a tunnel interface. If you
specify a tunnel interface, also
specify the tunnel number.
Mandatory for all static IPv6 routes.
The route’s metric. You can specify a value from 1 – 16. Optional for all static IPv6 routes. (The
default metric is 1.)
The route’s administrative
distance. You must specify the distance
keyword and any numerical value. Optional for all static IPv6 routes. (The
default administrative distance is 1.)
