IPv6 route source interface

Description

Creates a route leak between the source VRF and destination VRF. Using the static method, the route must first be added to the destination VRF. The route is added to the local interface of the source VRF with a next-hop interface. The existing IPv6 route command takes the source interface only when next-hop IP is link-local. To support VRF route leaking for global IPv6 unicast addresses, the command takes next-hop interface information along with next-hop IP regardless of next-hop IP is link-local or not.

• Users must provide both the next-hop IP and the interface information to leak the global unicast IPv6 network routes (route that is not directly reachable).

• The next-hop IP information is not required to leak connected global unicast IPv6 routes (route that is directly reachable).

The [no] form of command deletes the static VRF leaked route.

Command context

config

Parameters

<IPv6 ADDR/MEMBER>

Required: IPv6 IP-Address route destination.

Some switches (such as the Aruba 8400 Switch Series), use the format member/slot/port (for example, 1/1/1).

<IPv6 ADDR>

Required: IPv6 route destination

<INTERFACE>

Required: The outgoing interface in an m/s/p format

<DISTANCE>

Optional: administrative distance of static route

<VRF INSTANCE-NAME>

Optional: VRF instance

Options

blackhole

Discard packets to the destined route silently.

reject

Discard packets to the destined route and return ICMP error to the sender.

Authority

Administrators

Examples

Configures a route leak between the source VRF and destination VRF:

 switch(config)# show runn
