How do you read the output of show ipv6 route?

Question

Accepted Answer

Like the IPv4 table, C marks a directly connected /64 network and L marks the interface's own /128 local address (shown as receive); IPv6 adds an L FF00::/8 multicast route via Null0.
show ipv6 route Output:
R1# show ipv6 route
C   2001:DB8:ACAD:10::/64 [0/0]
     via GigabitEthernet0/0/0, directly connected
L   2001:DB8:ACAD:10::1/128 [0/0]
     via GigabitEthernet0/0/0, receive
C   2001:DB8:FEED:224::/64 [0/0]
     via GigabitEthernet0/0/1, directly connected
L   2001:DB8:FEED:224::1/128 [0/0]
     via GigabitEthernet0/0/1, receive
L   FF00::/8 [0/0]
     via Null0, receive

How to read it:

Entry
Meaning

C ... /64 ... directly connected
Directly Connected network on that interface

L ... /128 ... receive
Local — the router's own address; receive = traffic to it is processed by the router itself

L FF00::/8 via Null0
The IPv6 multicast range; automatically present

Use this to confirm both interfaces produced connected (C) and local (L) IPv6 routes after no shutdown.
Go deeper:

Routing table (Wikipedia) — the connected/local route structure, identical in concept for IPv4 and IPv6.
 IPv6 (Wikipedia) — the /64 prefixes, /128 host addresses and FF00::/8 multicast range shown in the table.

Entry	Meaning
`C ... /64 ... directly connected`	Directly Connected network on that interface
`L ... /128 ... receive`	Local — the router's own address; `receive` = traffic to it is processed by the router itself
`L FF00::/8 via Null0`	The IPv6 multicast range; automatically present
