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.
Adding a Static Route
To c r e a t e a s t a t i c r o u t e :
STEP 1 Select Networking > IPv6 > Routing.
STEP 2 In the list of static routes, click Add.
STEP 3 Enter the route name.
STEP 4 If a route is to be immediately active, check the Active box. When a route is added
in an inactive state, it will be listed in the routing table, but will not be used by the
firewall. The route can be enabled later. This feature is useful if the network that the
route connects to is not available when you added the route. When the network
becomes available, the route can be enabled.
STEP 5 In the IPv6 Destination field, enter the IPv6 address of the destination host or
network for this route.
STEP 6 In the IPv6 Prefix Length field, enter the number of prefix bits in the IPv6 address
that define the destination subnet.
STEP 7 Choose the physical network interface through which this route is accessible:
• WAN (Internet)—The route goes through the WAN interface.
• 6 to 4 Tunnel—Uses the tunnel interface to route traffic from an IPv6 network
to other IPv6 networks over an IPv4 network.
• LAN (Local Network)—The route goes through the LAN interface.
STEP 8 Enter the IP Address of the gateway through which the destination host or network
can be reached.
STEP 9 In the metric field, specify the priority of the route by choosing a value between 2
and 15. If multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest
metric is used.
STEP 10 Click Save.
