Configuring an IPv6 default route

An IPv6 default route is used to forward packets that match no entry in the routing table.
An IPv6 default route can be configured in either of the following ways:

The network administrator can configure a default route with a destination prefix of ::/0. For more
information, see "Configuring IPv6 static routing."

Some dynamic routing protocols, such as Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3), Routing
Information Protocol next generation (RIPng), and IPv6 Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System
(IPv6 IS-IS), can generate an IPv6 default route. For example, an upstream router running OSPFv3

can generate an IPv6 default route and advertise it to other routers, which install the IPv6 default

route with the next hop being the upstream router. For more information, see configuration guides

of relevant routing protocols.
