Configuring IPv6 Router Route Preference Page
Use this panel 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
will be chosen. To avoid problems with mismatched metrics you must configure different
preference values for each of the protocols.
Configurable Data
Static - The Static Route preference value for the router. The default value is 1. The range
is 1 to 255.
OSPFv3 Intra - The OSPFv3 intra route preference value in the router. The default value
is 8. The range is 1 to 255. The OSPFv3 specification requires that preferences must be
given to the routes learned via OSPFv3 in the following order: intra < inter < type-1 <
type-2 .
