 Router(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing

• A router’s interfaces can be enabled (configured with an

IPv6 address) for IPv6 like any other device on the network
• For the router to “act” as an IPv6 router it must be enabled
with the ipv6-unicast routing command
• This enables the router to:
• Send ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages
• Enable the forwarding of IPv6 packets
• Configure static routing and participate in IPv6 routing
protocols (EIGRP for IPv6, OSPFv3)
• Similar to “old” ip routing command for IPv4 which is
enabled by default

• Not routable

• Local route = similar to what we called a host route in IPv4

• Host routes point to the router’s IPv6 global unicast addresses

• The router uses these routes when the packets are addressed to one of
its own interfaces
• Router can more efficiently process packet to itself

• Host routes in IPv6 will have /128 prefix

Multicast
• Multicast addresses are not routed
• FF00/8 is the route to the entire multicast range
• The router will drop all multicast packets directed towards multicast groups which are not
in the routing table
• If a host joins a multicast group then that multicast group address will be added to the
routing table

Link-Local
• FE80/10 is the link-local address
• If a router receives a packet destined to link-local address it will drop it
• L FE80::/10 [0/0] does not appear in the output of show ipv6 route in Packet Tracer
