How to add static routes for IPv6 under routing instances.

Solution


The following setup uses a routing instance (type: Virtual Router) to add a static route for IPv6.
.

In this example, test is assumed as the routing instance: 

 root@J-4350-1# show routing-instances test   
 instance-type virtual-router;  
  routing-options  
   {  
     rib test.inet6.0 
      { 
         static route 0::0/0 next-hop c:c:c:c::4; 
          } 
       } 
    }  
 

root@# run show route  
 test.inet6.0: 3 destinations, 4 routes (3 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

c:c:c:c::2/128     *[Direct/0] 00:00:53
                    > via ge-0/0/0.0
                    [Local/0] 22:35:29
                      Local via ge-0/0/0.0
fe80::/64          *[Direct/0] 00:00:53
                    > via ge-0/0/0.0
fe80::b2c6:9aff:fe8a:c00/128
                   *[Local/0] 22:35:29
                      Local via ge-0/0/0.0

The output indicates that IPv6 learnt the routes under a custom routing instance of the Virtual Router type.
