Displaying the IPv6 Route Table Using CLI Commands For information about the CLI commands that perform this function, see the following chapter in the CLI Reference Guide: • IPv6 Routing Commands The following table summarizes the equivalent CLI commands for this feature. Table 10-28. IPv6 Route Table Command CLI Command show ipv6 route show ipv6 route summary Description Displays the IPv6 routing table. Displays a summary of the routing table. IPv6 Route Preferences Use the IPv6 Route Preferences page to configure the default preference for each protocol. These values are arbitrary values in the range of 1 to 255 and are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol. The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. When there are multiple routes to a destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route. If there is still a tie, the route with the best route metric is chosen. To avoid problems with mismatched metrics you must configure different preference values for each of the protocols. To display the page, click IPv6 →IPv6 Routes →IPv6 Route Preferences in the tree view. Figure 10-34. IPv6 Route Preferences The IPv6 Route Preferences page contains the fields shown below. In each case, the lowest values indicate the highest preference. • Local - This field displays the local route preference value. • Static - The static route preference value in the router. The default value is 1. The range is 1 to 255. Configuring IPv6 675
