● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
● For a Loopback interface, enter the keyword loopback then a number from 0
to 16383.
● For a port channel interface, enter the keywords port-channel then a
number.
● For a Null interface, enter the keyword null then the Null interface number.
● For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel interface

If you configure a static IPv6 route using an egress interface and enter the ping
command to reach the destination IPv6 address, the ping operation may not work.
Configure the IPv6 route using a next-hop IPv6 address in order for the ping
command to detect the destination address.
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.
weight weight-
value
Enter the keyword weight followed by a weight value. The range is from 0 to 255.
NOTE: Weight for a static route can be added only for the destination address
and not for the route pointing to destination a interface.
