Description

Configure static routes to be installed in the routing table. You can specify any number of routes within a single static statement, and you can specify any number of static statements in the configuration.

Options

destination-prefix—Destination of the generated route, specified as:

• destination-prefix/prefix-length—destination-prefix is the network portion of the IPv6 address, and prefix-length is the destination prefix length.

next-hop—How to reach the destination, specified as:

• next-hop address—Reach the next-hop router by specifying an IPv6 address or an interface name.
• next-table routing-table-name—Name of the next routing table to the destination.
• reject—Do not forward packets addressed to this destination. Instead, drop the packets, send Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) unreachable messages to the packets' originators, and install a reject route for this destination into the routing table.
• discard—Do not forward packets addressed to this destination. Instead, drop the packets, do not send ICMPv6 unreachable messages to the packets' originators, and install a reject route for this destination into the routing table.
• receive—Install a receive route for this destination into the routing table.

qualified-next-hop—An independent metric or preference for a static route.

• address—Reach the next-hop router by specifying an IPv6 address.
  
  

  The qualified-next-hop statement is mutually exclusive with all other types of next hops, except for next-hop address. Therefore, next-hop reject, next-hop discard, and next-hop receive cannot be configured with qualified-next-hop for the same destination.

  
  

The remaining statements are explained separately.
