Switching

I'm introducing virtual routers (routing instances) into our EX4200 configuration so that I can better control how traffic flows between the VLANs.

The main config has this section to define the static routes:

routing-options {
    graceful-restart;
    rib inet6.0 {
        static {
            route ::/0 next-hop 2001:630:280::1;
        }
    }
    static {
        route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 193.63.211.1;
    }
}

 and the configuration for the private VLAN has been set up like this:

    VR_Private {
        instance-type virtual-router;
        interface vlan.90;
        interface vlan.91;
        interface vlan.101;
        interface vlan.102;
        interface vlan.103;
        interface vlan.104;
        interface vlan.211;
        routing-options {
            static {
                route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 193.63.211.1;
            }
        }

However, I don't seem to be able to find a way of defining the IPv6 static route to 2001:630:280::1. I've tried copying the rib statement but I get an error when I commit the configuration:

 'rib inet6.0'
RT: rib inet6.0 is not in matching routing instance

Can someone please tell me how I define static routes in a routing instance?

Many thanks.

Hi,

The problem is that you've missed the VR_Private when defining IPv6 static route:

 rib VR_Private.inet6.0 {
        static {
            route ::/0 next-hop 2001:630:280::1;
        }
    }

Thank you. I thought I'd posted a followup a short while after posting my query to confirm that I had found the answer, but I appreciate you confirming it.

What is the answer?

I have similar issue. I tried following with VR_Private,inet6.0 but not working.

"lab@m10i-1# commit check
[edit routing-instances TESTV6-V1 routing-options]
  'rib VR_Private.inet6.0'
    RT: rib VR_Private.inet6.0 is not in matching routing instance
error: configuration check-out failed"]

You need to subsitiute "VR_Private" with "TEST-V6-V1". It is just the name of the routing instance.

Dear  All,

I have same issue. could you please help ?

Thanks. 

show routing-instances R1
instance-type virtual-router;
routing-options {
        rib R1.inet6.0 {
              static {
                     route 0::0/0 next-hop 2001:0001:0002:0003::5;
              } 
       }
}
