Users set the destination information for each static route entry on a network device. The destination information includes the expected network prefix, prefix length, and the next-hop associated interface and/or address. Using this information the network device can then forward IP packets to the destination via the expected next-hop network device. Usually, static routing has a higher priority than dynamically learned routes. This priority can be referred to as a route preference or an administrative distance. The route priority can be configured for management purpose. By using a proper priority configuration, routing entries towards the same destination can form a backup-master relationship. Provided below is a brief summary of possible configuration combinations to provide different types of IPv6 static route on the DGS-6600: • Static Route with Specific Next Hop • Floating Static Route Each route (either static or dynamic) has its own distance/preference to be used for deciding the priority for registering routing tables. If two or more routes point to the same destination the higher priority (with smaller configured value) ones will be chosen. The default administrative distance of static route is 1. On the DGS-6600 multiple paths toward the same destination are permitted, if the paths chosen have the same administrative distance allowing the load-balance feature of traffic forwarding. The commands "ip route multi-path" and "maximum-paths" are both for IPv4 and IPv6 enabling multipath and to allow management of the maximum number of multi-path. DGS-6600 Configuration Guide 256
