Service Manual
● For a tunnel interface, enter the keyword tunnel then the tunnel interface
number. The range is from 1 to 16383.
● For a VLAN interface, enter the keyword VLAN then the vlan number. The
range is from 1 to 4094.
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.
Defaults none

Usage
Information
When the interface goes down, Dell Networking OS withdraws the route. The route is re-installed, by Dell
Networking OS, when the interface comes back up. When a recursive resolution is “broken,” Dell
Networking OS withdraws the route. The route is re-installed, by Dell Networking OS, 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.
You can specify a weight for an IPv4 or IPv6 static route. If the weight value of a path is 0, then that path
is not used for forwarding when weighted ECMP is in effect. Also, if a path corresponding to a static
