ipv6 mroute next-hop-enable-default

Enables the option to use the default multicast route (mroute) to resolve a static IPv6 mroute next hop.
Syntax
ipv6 mroute[vrfvrf-name] next-hop-enable-default
no ipv6 mroute[vrfvrf-name] next-hop-enable-default
Command Default

IPv6 multicast static routes are not resolved using the default multicast static route.

Parameters
vrfvrf-name
Configures a static mroute for the specified virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) route.
Modes

Global configuration mode

VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring an IPv6 multicast static route, you must enable the forwarding of IPv6 traffic on the Layer 3 switch using the ipv6 unicast-routing command and must enable IPv6 on at least one interface by configuring an IPv6 address or explicitly enabling IPv6 on that interface.

The no form of the command disables IPv6 static route next-hop resolution through the default route. If a VRF is configured, the no form of the command removes the static IPv6 route configuration from the VRF.

Examples

The following example configures static routing next-hop recursion to three levels (the default). It configures the network default static route and allows it to resolve other static routes.

Note: You can specify a level of recursion up to 10.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 mroute next-hop-recursion
device(config)# ipv6 mroute 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
device(config)# ipv6 mroute next-hop-enable-default

The following example enables the VRF named vpn1 to resolve an IPv6 multicast static route through the default IPv6 multicast static route, after configuring IPv6 on the device, setting a route descriptor for the VPN, and specifying IPv6 addressing be used on the VPN.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
device(config)# vrf vpn1
device (config-vrf-vpn1)# rd 100:200
device (config-vrf-vpn1)# address-family ipv6
device(config-vrf)# ipv6 mroute next-hop-enable-default
