Figure 6-36. IPv6 Routes Table • IPv6 Address - Defines the destination IPv6 address. • Prefix Length - Specifies the length of the IPv6 prefix. The Prefix field is applicable only when the IPv6 Static IP address is defined as a Global IPv6 address. The range is 5 - 128. • Interface - Displays the interface that is used to forward the packet. Interface refers to any Port, LAG or VLAN. • Next Hop - Defines the address to which the packet is forwarded on the route to the Destination address (typically the address of a neighboring router). This can be either a Link Local or Global IPv6 address. • Metric - Indicates the value used for comparing this route to other routes with the same destination in the IPv6 route table. This is an administrative distance with the range of 0-255. The default value is 1. • Life-Time - Indicates the life-time of the route. • Route Type - Displays whether the destination is directly attached and the means by which the entry was learned. The following values are: - Local - Indicates a directly connected route entry. - Static - Indicates the route is learned through the ND process. The entry is automatically converted to a static entry. - ICMP - Indicates the route is learned through ICMP messages. - ND - Indicates the route is learned through RA messages. 130 Configuring System Information
