IPv6 Routes
The IPv6 Forwarding Table contains the various routes that have been configured. One of these
routes is a default route (IPv6 address:0) that uses the default router selected from the IPv6
Default Router List to send packets to destination devices that are not in the same IPv6 subnet as
the device. In addition to the default route, the table also contains dynamic routes that are ICMP
redirect routes received from IPv6 routers by using ICMP redirect messages. This could happen
when the default router the device uses is not the router for traffic to which the IPv6 subnets that
the device wants to communicate.
To view IPv6 routes:
1. Click
Configuration > IP Interface > IPv6 > IPv6 Routes
