# Defining Static Routes for Reverse-Path Forwarding

Use the ipv6 rpf-route command to define reverse-path forwarding (RPF) to verify that a router receives a multicast packet on the correct incoming interface.

ipv6 rpf-route

- Use to customize static routes that the router may use for RPF.
- Specify the IPv6 address and subnet mask of the destination network.
- Specify either a next-hop IPv6 address or an interface type and specifier, such as atm 3/0. For details about interface types and specifiers, see Interface Types and Specifiers in JunosE Command Reference Guide.
- Optionally, specify the distance (number of hops) to the next-hop address.
- Example
  host1(config)#ipv6 rpf-route 1000::/64 ATM2/1.200
- Use the no version to remove the static route.
- See ipv6 rpf-route.
