Access Point - Network IPv6 Default Routes screen
The
IPv6 Default Routes
screen provides the following information:
13.3.23.4 Bridge
Bridging is a forwarding technique used in networks. Bridging makes no assumption about where a particular address is
located. It relies on the flooding and examination of source addresses in received packet headers to locate unknown devices.
Once a device is located, its location is stored in a table to avoid broadcasting to that device again. Bridging is limited by its
dependency on flooding, and is used in local area networks only. A bridge and an access point are very much alike, as an access
point can be viewed as a bridge with a number of ports.
The Bridge screen provides details about the Integrate Gateway Server (IGS), which is a router connected to an access point.
The IGS performs the following:
Gateway Address
Lists the IP address of the gateway resource used with the listed route.
Installed
A green checkmark defines the listed IPv6 default route as currently installed on the
controller or service platform. A red X defines the route as not currently installed and
utilized.
Interface Name
Displays the interface on which the IPv6 default route is being utilized.
Lifetime
Lists the lifetime representing the valid usability of the default IPv6 route.
Preference
Displays the administrator defined IPv6 preferred route for IPv6 traffic.
Source
Lists whether the route is static or an administrator defined default route. Static routes
are manually configured. Static routes work adequately in simple networks. However,
static routes with topology changes require an administrator to manually configure and
modify the corresponding route revisions. Default routes are useful, as they forward
packets that match no specific routes in the routing table.
Status
Lists whether the defined IPv6 route is currently reachable on the controller or service
platform managed network. If not, perhaps a topology change has occurred to a static
route requiring a default route be utilized.
