DESCRIPTION
Destination IPv6
Address
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is
always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a
prefix length of 128 in the prefix length field to force the network number to be identical
to the host ID.
IPv6 Prefix
Length
Enter the address prefix to specify how many most significant bits compose the network
address.
Gateway IPv6
Address
Enter the IPv6 address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same
network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway has a route to the
destination network and helps forward packets to their destinations. If a link local
address is used, the interface should also be specified.
Bound Interface
If you want to forward IPv6 packets to a bound interface, select the interface through
which the traffic is sent.
