IPv6 static and dynamic routing

Similar to IPv4, IPv6 too supports both static and dynamic routing. Configuration commands for its static routing are similar to IPv4.

Static routing

Modifying the same topology that we used previously, let's add a router, switch, and two PCs to create a separate network, as shown in the following screenshot:

The first network will use addresses starting from 2000:1::/64 and the second network will use addresses starting from 2000:2::/64. The link between both the routers will have IP addresses 2001::10/64 and 2001::20/64.

Here is a table describing the topology:

Device	Interface	IP address
R1	FastEthernet0/0	`2000:1::1/64`
	FastEthernet0/1	`2001::10/64`
PC0	FastEthernet	`2000:1::2/64`
PC1	FastEthernet	`2000:1::3/64`
R2	FastEthernet0/0	`2000:2::1/64`
	FastEthernet0/1	`2001::20/64`
PC2	FastEthernet	`2000:2::2/64`
PC3	FastEthernet	`2000:2::3/64`

After the necessary IP addresses and gateways have been assigned, open the CLI tab for the R1 router, and start...
