Command Line Reference Guide

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 metric distance assigned
to the route. The range is from 1 to 255.
tag value (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword tag then a tag value number.
The range is from 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.

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 the
system when the recursive resolution is satisfied.
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.
