Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description
Set a default router (running IP version 6 [IPv6]) to use while the local router or switch (running IPv6) is booting and if the routing protocol processes fail to start. The Junos OS removes the route to this router or switch as soon as the software starts.
Options
address—Address of
the default router.
destination destination-address—(Optional) Destination address that is
reachable through the backup router. You can include this option to
achieve network reachability while loading, configuring, and recovering
the router or switch, but without the risk of installing a default
route in the forwarding table.
Default: All hosts (default route) are reachable through the backup router.
Required Privilege Level
