Junos OS

Hello,

I am trying to add a static default route on Ex-4500 with JunOS 12.3R3.4.

I have executed the following command

set routing-options rib inet6.0 static route ::/0 next-hop fe80::172:25:25:1

 but when I have tried to commit the configuration I got the following message

RT: link-local next-hop must be configured with an interface using qualified-next-hop

then I did

set routing-options rib inet6.0 static route ::/0 qualified next-hop fe80::172:25:25:1 interface xe-0/0/37.0

 same error message with commit command

The ipv6 route for the link-local address is

fe80::172:25:25:0/126
                   *[Direct/0] 2w6d 00:20:37
                    > via xe-0/0/37.0
fe80::172:25:25:2/128
                   *[Local/0] 2w6d 00:20:37
                      Local via xe-0/0/37.0

Any suggestion to solve this issue is appreciated.

Thanks and best regard

Cristina

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you try in higher release?

 

test# set routing-options rib inet6.0 static route ::/0 next-hop fe80::172:25:25:2
test# commit

Thank you for the answer.

The command with "qualified-next-hop" worked also for me.

I guess, yesterday, I have executed the command in not clean configuration due to the previous "static route .... next-hop" command.

Did you delete the earlier static route which you configured without qualified next-hop?
