Configuring IPv6 Static Routes
Cisco MDS NX-OS supports static routes for IPv6. This section includes the following topics:
•
•
Configuring a IPv6 Static Route
You must manually configure IPv6 static routes and define an explicit path between two networking
devices. IPv6 static routes are not automatically updated and must be manually reconfigured if the
network topology changes.
To configure a IPv6 static route, follow these steps:
Command or Action
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# ipv6 route ::/0
gigabitethernet 3/1
Step 3
switch(config)# ipv6 route 2001:0DB8::/32
gigabitethernet 3/2
Verifying IPv6 Static Route Configuration and Operation
The show ipv6 route command displays the IPv6 route table for the switch.
switch# show ipv6 route
