Configuring IPv6 static routing
Configuring IPv6 static routing
Displaying and maintaining IPv6 static routes
IPv6 static routing configuration example
Overview
Static routes are manually configured. If a network's topology is simple, you only need to configure static routes for the network to work properly.
Static routes cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the network, the network administrator has to modify the static routes manually.
Similar to IPv4 static routes, IPv6 static routes work well in simple IPv6 network environments.
Configuring IPv6 static routing
Before you configure an IPv6 static route, complete the following tasks:
· Configure parameters for the related interfaces.
· Configure link layer attributes for the related interfaces.
· Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
· Make sure that the neighboring nodes can reach each other.
To configure an IPv6 static route:
Step |
Command |
Remarks |
1. Enter system view. |
system-view |
N/A |
2. Configure an IPv6 static route. |
ipv6 route-static ipv6-address prefix-length next-hop-address [ preference preference-value ] |
By default, no IPv6 static route is configured. |
Displaying and maintaining IPv6 static routes
Command |
Remarks |
|
Display IPv6 routing table information. |
display ipv6 routing-table [ verbose ] [ | { begin | exclude | include } regular-expression ] |
Available in any view. |
|
NOTE: For information about the display ipv6 routing-table command, see Layer 3 Command Reference. |
IPv6 static routing configuration example
Network requirements
The IPv6 addresses and prefixes of the hosts and interfaces of the switches and the AP are shown in Figure 1. Configure IPv6 static routes to ensure the IP connectivity between the host and the client.
Configuration procedure
1. Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)
2. Configure IPv6 static routes.
# Configure a default IPv6 static route on Switch A.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] ipv6
[SwitchA] ipv6 route-static :: 0 4::2
# Configure an IPv6 static route on Switch B.
<SwitchB> system-view
[SwitchB] ipv6
[SwitchB] ipv6 route-static 1:: 64 4::1
# Configure a default IPv6 static route on the AP.
<AP> system-view
[AP] ipv6
[AP] ipv6 route-static :: 0 3::3
3. Configure the gateways of the host and the client as 1::1 and 3::3, respectively. (Details not shown.)
4. Verify the configuration.
# Display the IPv6 routing table on the AP.
<AP>display ipv6 routing-table
