User Guidelines
Configuring a new default gateway without deleting the previous configured
information overwrites the previous configuration.
A configured default gateway has a higher precedence over an automatically
advertised by using a router advertisement message.
Precedence takes effect after the configured default gateway is reachable.
Reachability state is not verified automatically by the neighbor discovery protocol.
Router reachability can be confirmed by either receiving a Router Advertisement
message or containing the router's MAC address. Another option to force the
reachability confirmation is to ping the router link-local address (this will initiate the
neighbor discovery process).
