Configuring IPv6 Static Routing
You can configure static routes to direct packets to the destination network. A
static route is a predetermined pathway that a packet must travel to reach a
specific host or network.
Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing table instead of using
dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to
exchange routing information with a peer router.
You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic
routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be
careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.
To create an IPv6 static route:
Choose Networking > IPv6 Configuration > IPv6 Static Routing.
In the IPv6 Static Routing table, click Add Row.
Enter the following information:
Name
Destination
Prefix Length
Gateway
Interface
Metric
Enter the route's name.
Enter the IPv6 address of the destination host or net-
work for this route.
Enter the number of prefix bits in the IPv6 address that
define the destination subnet.
Enter the IPv6 address of the gateway through which
the destination host or network can be reached.
Choose the interface for the route from the
drop-down menu: LAN, WAN, or 6to4.
Enter the priority of the route by choosing a value
between 2 and 15. If multiple routes to the same desti-
nation exist, the route with the lowest metric is used.
