Configuring IPv6 static routing

About IPv6 static routing

Static routes are manually configured and cannot adapt to network topology changes. If a fault or a topological change occurs in the network, the network administrator must modify the static routes manually. IPv6 static routing works well in a simple IPv6 network.

Configuring an IPv6 static route

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure an IPv6 static route.

Public network:

ipv6 route-static ipv6-address prefix-length { interface-type interface-number [ next-hop-address ] | next-hop-address | vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address } [ permanent ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, no IPv6 static route is configured.

VPN:

ipv6 route-static vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name ipv6-address prefix-length { interface-type interface-number [ next-hop-address ] | next-hop-address [ public ] | vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name next-hop-address } [ permanent ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, no IPv6 static route is configured.

3.     (Optional.) Set the default preference for IPv6 static routes.

ipv6 route-static default-preference default-preference

The default setting is 60.

Deleting IPv6 static routes

About deleting IPv6 static routes

To delete an IPv6 static route, use the undo ipv6 route-static command. To delete all IPv6 static routes including the default route, use the delete ipv6 static-routes all command.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Delete all IPv6 static routes, including the default route.

delete ipv6 [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] static-routes all

Configuring BFD for IPv6 static routes

About BFD for IPv6 static routes

BFD provides a general purpose, standard, and medium- and protocol-independent fast failure detection mechanism. It can uniformly and quickly detect the failures of the bidirectional forwarding paths between two routers for protocols, such as routing protocols and MPLS. BFD for IPv6 static routes tests the reachability of the next hop for each IPv6 static route. If a next hop is unreachable, BFD deletes the associated IPv6 static route.

For more information about BFD, see High Availability Configuration Guide.

Restrictions and guidelines for BFD

Enabling BFD for a flapping route could worsen the situation.

Configuring bidirectional control mode

About bidirectional control mode

To use BFD bidirectional control detection between two devices, enable BFD control mode for each device's static route destined to the peer.

To configure a static route and enable BFD control mode, use one of the following methods:

·     Specify an output interface and a direct next hop.

·     Specify an indirect next hop and a BFD packet source address for the static route.

Configuring BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route (direct next hop)

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route.

ipv6 route-static [ vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name ] ipv6-address prefix-length interface-type interface-number next-hop-address bfd control-packet [ bfd-source ipv6-address ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route is not configured.

Configuring BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route (indirect next hop)

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route.

ipv6 route-static [ vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name ] ipv6-address prefix-length [ vpn-instance d-vpn-instance-name ] { next-hop-address bfd control-packet bfd-source ipv6-address } [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, BFD control mode for an IPv6 static route is not configured.

Configuring single-hop echo mode

About single-hop echo mode

With BFD echo mode enabled for a static route, the output interface sends BFD echo packets to the destination device, which loops the packets back to test the link reachability.

Restrictions and guidelines

Do not use BFD for a static route with the output interface in spoofing state.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure the source address of echo packets.

bfd echo-source-ipv6 ipv6-address

By default, the source address of echo packets is not configured.

The source address of echo packets must be a global unicast address.

For more information about this command, see High Availability Command Reference.

3.     Configure BFD echo mode for an IPv6 static route.

ipv6 route-static [ vpn-instance s-vpn-instance-name ] ipv6-address prefix-length interface-type interface-number next-hop-address bfd echo-packet [ bfd-source ipv6-address ] [ preference preference ] [ tag tag-value ] [ description text ]

By default, BFD echo mode for an IPv6 static route is not configured.

The next hop IPv6 address must be a global unicast address.

Procedure

1.     Configure the IPv6 addresses for all VLAN interfaces. (Details not shown.)

2.     Configure IPv6 static routes:

# Configure a default IPv6 static route on Switch A.

<SwitchA> system-view

[SwitchA] ipv6 route-static :: 0 4::2

# Configure two IPv6 static routes on Switch B.

<SwitchB> system-view

[SwitchB] ipv6 route-static 1:: 64 4::1

# Configure a default IPv6 static route on Switch C.

<SwitchC> system-view

[SwitchC] ipv6 route-static :: 0 5::2

3.     Configure the IPv6 addresses for all the hosts and configure the default gateway of Host A, Host B, and Host C as 1::1, 2::1, and 3::1.

Example: Configuring BFD for IPv6 static routes (direct next hop)

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2:

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 120::/64 on Switch A.

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 121::/64 on Switch B.

·     Enable BFD for both routes.

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 120::/64 and an IPv6 static route to subnet 121::/64 on Switch C.

When the link between Switch A and Switch B through the Layer 2 switch fails, BFD can detect the failure immediately, and Switch A and Switch B can communicate through Switch C.

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 3:

·     Switch A has a route to interface Loopback 1 (2::9/128) on Switch B, and the output interface is VLAN-interface 10.

·     Switch B has a route to interface Loopback 1 (1::9/128) on Switch A, and the output interface is VLAN-interface 12.

·     Switch D has a route to 1::9/128, and the output interface is VLAN-interface 10. It also has a route to 2::9/128, and the output interface is VLAN-interface 12.

Configure the following:

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 120::/64 on Switch A.

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 121::/64 on Switch B.

·     Enable BFD for both routes.

·     Configure an IPv6 static route to subnet 120::/64 and an IPv6 static route to subnet 121::/64 on both Switch C and Switch D.

When the link between Switch A and Switch B through Switch D fails, BFD can detect the failure immediately and Switch A and Switch B can communicate through Switch C.

Configuring an IPv6 default route

A default IPv6 route is used to forward packets that match no entry in the routing table.

A default IPv6 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 OSPFv3, IPv6 IS-IS, and RIPng) can generate a default IPv6 route. For example, an upstream router running OSPFv3 can generate a default IPv6 route and advertise it to other routers. These routers install the default IPv6 route with the next hop being the upstream router. For more information, see the respective chapters on those routing protocols in this configuration guide.
