The basic syntax for configuring IPv6 statis routes is the same as in IPv4
- IPv4
- ip route [ipv4_prefix][ipv4_address_mask][ipv4_if_address]
- IPv6
- ipv6 route [ipv6_prefix/prefix_length][ipv6_if_address]
- Ex: ipv6 route ::/0 FastEthernet0/1 FE80::206:2AFF:FEa0:ce84
Next Hop address
When configuring static Routes in IPv6 it is not recommended to use global unicast addresses as next-hop address. Use Link-local adresses.
 |
A router must be able to determine the link-local address of each of its neighboring routers in order to ensure that the target address of a Redirect message identifies the neighbor router by its link-local address. |
| extract from RFC2461 |
Link-local addresses however uses EUI-64 based on the Routers MAC-address. If the Router is replaced the neighboring Routers will have to be reconfigured with the new Link-local address. How to avoid this mess I do not know. When configuring IPv6 addresses on Router interfaces I set the Link-local IPv6 address to match the Global unique IPv6 address. See example below.
interface FastEthernet1/0
ipv6 address 2001:16D8:DD85:B280::2/64
ipv6 address FE80:16D8:DD85:B280::2 link-local
