This page displays the following fields:
•
IPv6 Prefix
—IP route prefix for the destination IPv6 subnet address.
•
Prefix Length
—IP route prefix length for the destination IPv6 subnet
address. It is preceded by a forward slash.
•
Interface
—Interface used to forward the packet.
•
Next Hop
—Address where the packet is forwarded. Typically, this is the
address of a neighboring router. It can be one of the following types.
-
Link Local
—An IPv6 interface and IPv6 address that uniquely identifies
hosts on a single network link. A link local address has a prefix of
FE80
,
is not routable, and can be used for communication only on the local
network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address
exists on the interface, this entry replaces the address in the
configuration.
-
Global
—An IPv6 address that is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible
and reachable from other networks.
-
Point-to-Point
—A Point-to-point tunnel.
•
Metric
—Value used for comparing this route to other routes with the same
destination in the IPv6 router table. All default routes have the same value.
•
Lifetime
—Time period during which the packet can be sent, and resent,
before being deleted.
•
Route Type
—How the destination is attached, and the method used to
obtain the entry. The following values are:
-
Local
—A directly-connected network whose prefix is derived from a
manually-configured device’s IPv6 address.
-
Dynamic
—The destination is an indirectly-attached (remote) IPv6 subnet
address. The entry was obtained dynamically via the ND or ICMP
protocol.
-
Static
—The entry was manually configured by a user.
