Usage Information
When the interface goes down, the system withdraws the route. The route is re-installed by the system when the
interface comes back up. When a recursive resolution is “broken,” the system withdraws the route. The route is re-
installed by the system when the recursive resolution is satised.
After an IPv6 static route interface is created, if an IP address is not assigned to a peer interface, the peer must be
manually pinged to resolve the neighbor information.

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information Because this command is enabled by default, it does not appear in the running conguration. When you disable
unicast routing, the no ipv6 unicast-routing command is included in the running conguration. Whenever
unicast routing is disabled or re-enabled, the system generates a syslog message indicating the action.
Disabling unicast routing on a chassis causes the following behavior:
