Viewing IPv6 Route Tables
IPv6 Routes
The page displays the
default route (IPv6 address:0) that uses the default router selected from the IPv6
Default Router List to send packets to destination devices that are not in the same
IPv6 subnet as the switch. In addition to the default route, the table also contains
dynamic routes that are ICMP redirect routes received from IPv6 routers by using
ICMP redirect messages. This could happen when the default router the switch
uses is not the router for traffic to which the IPv6 subnets that the switch wants to
communicate.

IPv6 Routes
The page opens.
This page displays the following fields:
• IPv6 Address—The IPv6 subnet address.
• Prefix Length—IP route prefix length for the destination IPv6 subnet
address. It is preceded by a forward slash.
• Interface—Interface used to forward the packet.
• Next Hop—Address where the packet is forwarded. Typically, this is the
address of a neighboring router. This must be a link local address.
• Metric—Value used for comparing this route to other routes with the same
destination in the IPv6 router table. All default routes have the same value.
• Life Time—Time period during which the packet can be sent, and resent,
before being deleted.
• Route Type—How the destination is attached, and the method used to
obtain the entry. The following values are:
Local
- —A directly-connected network whose prefix is derived from a
manually-configured switch's IPv6 address.
