You can remove an IPv6 route from the locally maintained route table. Internet Protocol (IP) compares the destination address to entries in this table and decides what action to take.

To remove an IPv6 route

  1. At a command prompt, type ipv6 rtu Prefix IfIndex [life Valid[/Preferred]], where Prefix specifies the prefix (obtained by using ipv6 rt) of the route to remove, IfIndex is the index number of the interface from which to remove a route, and life is 0.

    For example, to remove the fec0:0:0:f1b2::/64 route from interface index number 5, you would type ipv6 rtu fec0:0:0:f1b2::/64 5 life 0.

  2. Press ENTER.

For more information about lifetime, see Routing for IPv6.
