The process of propagating a default static route in OSPFv3 is almost identical to OSPFv2.

In Figure 1, R2 is single-homed to a service provider. Therefore, all that is required for R2 to reach the Internet is a default static route to the service provider.

Note: In this example, a loopback interface with the IP address of 2001:DB8:FEED:1::1/64 is used to simulate the connection to the service provider.

Figure 2 displays the current IPv6 routing table of R1. Notice that it has no knowledge of the route to the Internet.

To propagate a default route, the edge router (R2) must be configured with:

The example in Figure 3 configures a fully-specified default static route to the service provider.
