–
Prefix Length
— The length of the IPv6 prefix. This field is applicable
only when the destination address is defined as a global IPv6 address.
–
Next Hop
— The type of address to which the packet is forwarded on
the route to the Destination address (typically the address of a
neighboring router). This can be either a
Link Local
or
Global
IPv6
address.
–
Interface
— The interface that is used to forward the packet. Interface
refers to any Port, LAG or VLAN.
–
Route
Type
— Specifies whether the destination is directly-attached
and the means by which the entry was learned. The possible options
are:
•
Local
— A directly-connected route entry.
•
Static
— Manually configured route, supported only for default
gateway, learned through the Neighbor Discover (ND) process.
•
ICMP
— The route was learned through ICMP Redirect
messages, sent by the router.
•
ND
— Route was learned by the ND protocol from Router
Advertisement messages.
–
Metric
— The cost value used for comparing this route to other routes
with the same destination in the IPv6 route table.
–
Life-Time
— The timeout interval of the route if no activity takes
place. Infinite means the address is never deleted.

NOTE:
A static route is displayed in the IPv6 Route table only if the IPv6 interface,
which is on the device, is connected to the Next Hop in the Up state.
ISATAP Tunnel
To deliver IPv6 addresses in an IPv4 network, a tunneling process must be
defined that encapsulates IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets.
The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) is an IPv6
transition mechanism that is used to transmit IPv6 packets between
dual-stack nodes (nodes that can accept both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses) on top
of an IPv4 network.
