• Configure IPv6 WAN properties—See Configuring the WAN for an IPv6

Network, page 34.

• Set the Routing Mode to IPv4/IPv6 mode. See Configuring the Routing

Mode, page 54.

Configuring IPv6 Static Routing

You can configure static routes to direct packets to the destination network. A

static route is a pre-determined pathway that a packet must travel to reach a

specific host or network. Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing

table instead of using dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU

resources to exchange routing information with a peer router. You can also use

static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic routing protocols.

Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to

introduce routing loops in your network.
