ipv6 route next-hop-recursion

You can resolve static route destination using recursive lookup in local address tables up to 10 hops away.
Syntax
ipv6 route [ vrf vrf-name ] next-hop-recursion [ number ]
no ipv6 route[ vrf vrf-name ] next-hop-recursion [ number ]
Command Default

By default, only the local IPv6 address table is consulted to resolve the next hop toward a static route destination.

Parameters
vrf vrf-name
Specifies the VRF that contains the next-hop router (gateway) for the route.
number
Specifies the level of recursion for address lookup. The range is 1 through 10. If no number is specified, the default value is 3.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Before configuring a static IPv6 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.

ICX 7150 and ICX 8100 devices do not support tunnels or VRFs.

The no form of the command disables IPv6 static route next-hop recursion. 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 recursive static route lookup to five levels for static route resolution. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 route next-hop-recursion 5
