# ipv6 route

#### Syntax

ipv6 route [ vrf vrfName ] prefix { nextHop | interfaceType interfaceSpecifier }
[ distance ]

no ipv6 route [ vrf vrfName ] prefix [ nextHop | interfaceType interfaceSpecifier ]
[ distance ]

#### Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOSe Release 7.1.0.
vrf keyword and vrfName variable added in JUNOSe Release 7.2.0.

#### Description

Configures a static IPv6 prefix route. The no version removes a static IPv6 prefix route.

#### Options

- vrfName—Name of the VRF; string of 1–32 alphanumeric characters
- prefix—Combination of both a prefix and prefix length (mask) value. The prefix (IP address or network) defines the IPv6 interface or network. The prefix (mask) length of the IPv6 prefix is a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the decimal value. An example of a prefix would be “ 7fff::0/16” , “ 7fff::0/32” , “ 7fff:2:3::0/24” , or “ 7fff::1/128” .
- nextHop—IPv6 address of the next-hop to reach the destination prefix (network). The next-hop address need not be directly connected; recursion locates the physical next-hop.
- interfaceType—Interface type; see Interface Types and Specifiers
- interfaceSpecifier—Particular interface; format varies according to interface type; see Interface Types and Specifiers
- distance—Preference value for the IPv6 route. A default value of 1 gives static routes precedence over any other type of route (with the exception of connected routes).

#### Mode
