ipv6-address
prefix-length
Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format followed by the prefix length in the /x
format.
Range: /0 to /128
Note: The
:: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros
interface
(OPTIONAL) Enter the following keywords and slot/port or number information:
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
GigabitEthernet followed by
the slot/port information.
• For a loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback followed by a number from
zero (0) to 16383.
• For the null interface, enter the keyword
null followed by zero (0).
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
ipv6-address (OPTIONAL) Enter the forwarding router IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format.
Note: The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros
distance
(OPTIONAL) Enter a number as the distance metric assigned to the route.
Range: 1 to 255
tag value (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword tag followed by a tag value number.
Range: 1 to 4294967295
permanent (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword permanent to specify that the route is not to be
removed, even if the interface assigned to that route goes down.
Note: If you disable the interface with an IPv6 address associated with the keyword
permanent, the route disappears from the routing table.
