Monitoring the Status of IPv6 Static Routes in the Routing Table

Purpose

Display the status of static routes in the routing table. You can specify an IPv6 mask that filters specific routes.

  • You must configure an IPv6 license using the license ipv6 command before using the IPv6 routing protocol configuration commands on the E Series router.
  • All IPv6 routing protocol-related configurations are removed from the virtual router when you issue the no ipv6 command.

Action

To display the status of static routes in the routing table:

host1# show ipv6 static
 Prefix/Length   NextHop   Dst/Met     Tag       Interface    ICMP Unreach
-------------- ---------- ---------- --------- ------------- ----------------
6::/64           5::2       1/0         0          ATM4/0.15   
2003::/16        5::1       1/0         0          ATM4/0.15    
2:1::/64          ::        1/0         0          null0        reject
3:1::/64          ::        1/0         0          null0        discard
55::/55          44::44     1/0       	1234	     Unresolved 

Meaning

Table 44 lists the show ipv6 static command output fields.

Field Name

Field Description

Prefix

ICMP Unreach

Indicates whether the transmission of ICMPv6 unreachable messages to the originator is enabled for packets that are discarded from processing on each interface configured with a static route:

  • reject—ICMPv6 unreachable messages are sent to the originator for packets that are received on the static route configured on the interface and are dropped from processing (reject keyword is specified with the ipv6 route command)
  • discard—ICMPv6 unreachable messages are not sent to the originator for packets that are received on the static route configured on the interface and are dropped from processing (discard keyword is specified with the ipv6 route command or the default mode of the ipv6 route command is in effect)
