208 IP Addressing
The following is a sample script to configure IPv6 using CLI:
IPv6 Routes Table
The IPv6 Routes Table contains the various routes that have been configured.
One of these routes is a 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 device. 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 device uses is not
the router for traffic to which the IPv6 subnets that the device wants to
communicate.
The routing table is used to determine the next-hop address and the interface
used for forwarding.
Each dynamic entry also has an associated invalidation timer value (extracted
from Router Advertisements). This timer is used to delete entries that are no
longer advertised.
To view the IPv6 Routes Table:
•Click System > IPv6 Addressing > IPv6 Routes Table in the tree view to
display the
IPv6 Routes Table page.
The following is displayed for each IP address:
–
IPv6 Prefix — The destination IPv6 address prefix.
