DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Interface
The IP Interface where the static IPv6 route is created.
Next Hop Address
The corresponding IPv6 address for the next hop Gateway address in IPv6 format.
Metric
The metric of the IPv6 interface entered into the table representing the number of routers
between the Switch and the IPv6 address above. Metric values allowed are between 1
and 65535.
Protocol
Represents the status for the IPv6 routing table entry.
Backup
This field will indicate the role of this interface for the IPv6 network connection for the
switch, whether Primary or Backup.
Status
This field denotes the current active state of this IPv6 route.
Delete
Click the button to delete this entry from the list.
To enter an IPv6 Interface into the IPv6 Static Route list, click the
Add
button, revealing the following window to configure.
Figure 4- 16. IPv6 Static Route Settings – Add window
Tick the default check box if this will be the default IPv6 route. Choosing this option will allow the user to configure the default
gateway for the next hop router only.
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
IPv6 Address/Prefix
Length
Specify the address and mask information using the format as IPv6 address / prefix length
(IPv6 address is hexadecimal number, prefix length is decimal number, for example
1234:5D7F/32).
Ticking the default check box will set the IPv6 address as unspecified and the Switch will
automatically find the default route. This defines the entry as a 1 hop IPv6 default route.
IP Tunnel Name
The IP tunnel interface name of the next hop. When this option is specified, it is indicated
that this new created route is an IP tunnel route.
Interface Name
The IP Interface where the static IPv6 route is to be created.
Next Hop Address
Enter the IPv6 address for the next hop Gateway address in IPv6 format.
Metric (1-65535)
The metric representing the number of routers between the Switch and the IPv6 address
above.
Backup State
The user may choose between
Primary
and
Backup.
If the Primary Static/Default Route
fails, the Backup Route will support the entry. Please take note that the Primary and
Backup entries cannot have the same Gateway.
