25.2.3 Configuring Single-Path Routes

Set single-path static routes. The distances will determine path priority.

Points to note

For the static route you are setting as the alternate route, specify a distance larger than that of the preferred route.

Command examples

1. (config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:ffff:1::/64 2001:db8:1:2::2 100

   Specifies the remote gateway 2001:db8:1:2::2 as the next hop of the static route 2001:db8:ffff:1::/64. Also, specify 100 as the distance.

2. (config)# ipv6 route 2001:db8:ffff:1::/64 fe80::2 vlan 10 200 noresolve

   Specifies the link-local address fe80::2 for interface vlan 10 for the neighboring gateway 172.16.1.100 as the next hop of static route 2001:db8:ffff:1::/64. Also, specify 200 as the distance. The Switch will use this path as the alternate route if the route to gateway 2001:db8:1:2::2 becomes invalid.
