IPv6

The routing table for the static routing of IPv6 packets is located under IP router > Routing > Routing table > IPv6 routing table.

Active
Activates or deactivates this entry in the routing table.
Prefix
This prefix and prefix length denote the network range from which the current remote site (e.g. 2001:db8::/32) is to receive data. The value ::/0 denotes the default route.
Routing tag
The routing tag allows the selection of the destination route to be controlled more precisely. This route is active only for packets with the same tag. The data packets receive the routing tag either from the firewall (see Policy-based routing) or depending on the LAN or WAN interface used. Detailed information on the routing behavior in LCOS can be found in the chapter Routing behavior.
Router
This is where you specify the destination or remote site for this route. Enter one of the following options:
  • An interface name
  • An IPv6 address (e.g. 2001:db8::1)
  • An interface name supplemented with a link-local address (e.g. fe80::1%INTERNET)
  • An IPv6 address with TAG (e.g. 2001:db8::1@1) if the router or next hop is to be resolved in a different routing context. This is the case, for example, when a static route has been created with a tag, where this tag can only be assigned by a firewall rule. Example: If router 2001:db8::1 is to be resolved in routing context 1, enter '2001:db8::1@1'
Routes with the entry "::" identify excluded or blocked routes. Data packets for this "zero route" are discarded and not forwarded. This means that routes prohibited on the Internet (private address spaces, e.g. unique local address 'fc00::/7‘ as per RFC 4193) are excluded from transmission.
Administrative distance
Here you set the administrative distance of this route. This parameter can be used to configure several identical routes or prefixes to different remote sites. The route with the lowest administrative distance is the preferred active route. The default is 0, i.e. the value is assigned automatically by the operating system. See Administrative distance.
