Configuring static route

[hrsahu]

Hi all,

I am looking for a more help. What is the static route for a IPV6 router?

How do I need to configure static route on FreeBSD router indicating another router's link local address as next hop? Now I have a test case where a second router is connected to the same network with a FreeBSD router.

Regards.

Routing IPv6 works similar to IPv4. Keep in mind that link-local addresses are non-routable.

But link-local addresses can be still used as next hop addresses even though they are not routable by themselves.

True, but the question leaves a lot of things open. It may be that the OP is trying to route link-local addresses.

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your reply. What is OP?

Could you please guide me how to configure a FreeBSD IPv6 router device indicating another router's link local address as next hop? Please provide a example.

It's really not that different from any other address type, IPv6 or IPv4.

[cmd=]route add -inet6 default f800:1234:1234::1[/cmd]
[cmd=]route add -inet6 2001:1234:: prefixlen 64 f800:1234:1234::1[/cmd]
