Verifying the configuration
1. Display the route table:
Enter the IPv6 route page of Switch A, Switch B, and AC, respectively, to verify that the newly
configured static routes are displayed as active routes on the page.
2. Ping Host B from Switch A:
system-view
[SwitchA] ping ipv6 3::2
PING 3::2 : 56 data bytes, press CTRL_C to break
Reply from 3::2
bytes=56 Sequence=1 hop limit=254 time = 63 ms
Reply from 3::2
bytes=56 Sequence=2 hop limit=254 time = 62 ms
Reply from 3::2
bytes=56 Sequence=3 hop limit=254 time = 62 ms
Reply from 3::2
bytes=56 Sequence=4 hop limit=254 time = 63 ms
Reply from 3::2

Configuration guidelines
When you configure a static route, follow these guidelines:
1. If you do not specify the preference when you configure a static route, the default preference is
used. Reconfiguration of the default preference applies only to newly created static routes.
Currently, the Web interface does not support configuration of the default preference.
2. When you configure a static route, the static route does not take effect if you specify the next hop
address first and then configure it as the IP address of a local interface, such as an Ethernet
interface and VLAN interface.
3. When specifying the output interface, note that:
If NULL 0 or a loopback interface is specified as the output interface, there is no need to
configure the next hop address.
If a point-to-point interface is specified as the output interface, you do not need to specify the
next hop or change the configuration after the peer address has changed. For example, a PPP
interface obtains the peer's IP address through PPP negotiation, and therefore, you only need
to specify it as the output interface.
If the output interface is an NBMA or P2MP interface, which supports point-to-multipoint
networks, the IP address-to-link layer address mapping must be established. Therefore, H3C
recommends that you specify the next hop IP address when you configure it as the output
interface.
