IPv6 Routing | 531
Assigning a Static IPv6 Route
IPv6 Static Routes are supported on the S5000 platform.
Use the
ipv6 route command to configure IPv6 static routes.
Note: After you configure a static IPv6 route (ipv6 route command) and configure the forwarding router’s address
(specified in the ipv6 route command) on a neighbor’s interface, the IPv6 neighbor is not displayed in the show ipv6
route
command output.
Telneting with IPv6
IPv6 Telnet is supported on the S5000 platform.
The Telnet client and server in Dell Networking OS support IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet
session directly to the router using an IPv6 Telnet client, or an IPv6 Telnet connection can be initiated from
the router.
