IPv6 Deployment Guide for Cisco

[Max Clark]

Any reason why a static route to the null interface would not be
inserted into the RIB? This is preventing us from announcing our IPv6
Prefix via BGP.

#show ipv6 static
IPv6 Static routes
Code: * - installed in RIB
* 2607:xxxy::1/128 via nexthop 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE5, distance 1
* 2607:xxxy::1/128 via nexthop 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE1, distance 1
  2607:xxxx::/32 via interface Null0, distance 250

#show ipv6 route static
IPv6 Routing Table - 448 entries
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, R - RIP, B - BGP
       U - Per-user Static route
       I1 - ISIS L1, I2 - ISIS L2, IA - ISIS interarea, IS - ISIS summary
       O - OSPF intra, OI - OSPF inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1, OE2 - OSPF ext 2
       ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2
S   2607:xxxy::1/128 [1/0]
     via 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE1
     via 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE5

The config...

ipv6 route 2607:xxxy::1/128 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE5
ipv6 route 2607:xxxy::1/128 2607:xxxy:0:2::FFE1
ipv6 route 2607:xxxx::/32 Null0 250

Thanks,
Max
