Basic IPv6 static route configuration example

As shown in Figure 18, configure IPv6 static routes so that hosts can reach one another.

1. Configure the IPv6 addresses for all VLAN interfaces. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure IPv6 static routes:

   # Configure a default IPv6 static route on Switch A.

   <SwitchA> system-view
   [SwitchA] ipv6 route-static :: 0 4::2
   

   # Configure two IPv6 static routes on Switch B.

   <SwitchB> system-view
   [SwitchB] ipv6 route-static 1:: 64 4::1
   [SwitchB] ipv6 route-static 3:: 64 5::1
   

   # Configure a default IPv6 static route on Switch C.

   <SwitchC> system-view
   [SwitchC] ipv6 route-static :: 0 5::2
   

3. Configure the IPv6 addresses for all the hosts and configure the default gateway of Host A, Host B, and Host C as 1::1, 2::1, and 3::1.

# Display the IPv6 static route information on Switch A.

# Use the ping command to test the reachability.
