xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch Interface Next Hop Address Metric Protocol Backup Status Delete The IP Interface where the static IPv6 route is created. The corresponding IPv6 address for the next hop Gateway address in IPv6 format. The metric of the IPv6 interface entered into the table representing the number of routers between the Switch and the IPv6 address above. Metric values allowed are between 1 and 65535. Represents the status for the IPv6 routing table entry. This field will indicate the role of this interface for the IPv6 network connection for the switch, whether Primary or Backup. This field denotes the current active state of this IPv6 route. Click the button to delete this entry from the list. To enter an IPv6 Interface into the IPv6 Static Route list, click the Add button, revealing the following window to configure. Figure 4- 16. IPv6 Static Route Settings - Add window Tick the default check box if this will be the default IPv6 route. Choosing this option will allow the user to configure the default gateway for the next hop router only. The following fields can be set: Parameter Description IPv6 Address/Prefix Length IP Tunnel Name Specify the address and mask information using the format as IPv6 address / prefix length (IPv6 address is hexadecimal number, prefix length is decimal number, for example 1234:5D7F/32). Ticking the default check box will set the IPv6 address as unspecified and the Switch will automatically find the default route. This defines the entry as a 1 hop IPv6 default route. The IP tunnel interface name of the next hop. When this option is specified, it is indicated that this new created route is an IP tunnel route. Interface Name Next Hop Address The IP Interface where the static IPv6 route is to be created. Enter the IPv6 address for the next hop Gateway address in IPv6 format. Metric (1-65535) The metric representing the number of routers between the Switch and the IPv6 address above. Backup State The user may choose between Primary and Backup. If the Primary Static/Default Route fails, the Backup Route will support the entry. Please take note that the Primary and Backup entries cannot have the same Gateway.
