Example for Configuring IPv6 Static Routes
Networking Requirements
On an IPv6 network, hosts on different network segments are connected using several Routers. Every two hosts on different network segments can communicate with each other without using dynamic routing protocols.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
- Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces so that devices can communicate with each other.
- Configure the IPv6 default gateway on each host, and configure IPv6 static routes and default routes on each Router so that hosts on different network segments can communicate with each other.
Procedure
- Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces on each Router.
# Configure IPv6 addresses for interfaces on RouterA.
<Huawei> system-view [Huawei] sysname RouterA [RouterA] ipv6 [RouterA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0 [RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] ipv6 enable [RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] ipv6 address 10::1/64 [RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] quit [RouterA] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/0 [RouterA-GigabitEthernet2/0/0] ipv6 enable [RouterA-GigabitEthernet2/0/0] ipv6 address 1::1/64
The configurations of RouterB and RouterC are similar to the configuration of RouterA, and are not mentioned here.
- Configure IPv6 static routes.
# Configure an IPv6 default route on RouterA.
[RouterA] ipv6 route-static :: 0 gigabitethernet 1/0/0 10::2# Configure two IPv6 static routes on RouterB.
[RouterB] ipv6 route-static 1:: 64 gigabitethernet 1/0/0 10::1[RouterB] ipv6 route-static 3:: 64 gigabitethernet 2/0/0 20::2# Configure an IPv6 default route on RouterC.
[RouterC] ipv6 route-static :: 0 gigabitethernet 1/0/0 20::1 - Configure host addresses and gateways.
Configure IPv6 addresses for hosts according to the networking diagram, and set default gateway addresses of PC1, PC2, and PC3 to 1::1, 2::1, and 3::1 respectively.
- Verify the configuration.
# Check the IPv6 routing table of RouterA.
