IPv6 Default Routes

On this page, you configure the IPv6 default route. The IPv6 default route is an IPv6 route,
that applies to all IPv6 addresses. The device only needs to know the default gateway and
sends all IPv6 packets to it.
The default gateway either knows all routes itself or has a default route to another default
gateway.
