Configuring IPv6 Routing

Figure 37-8. IPv6 Route Table

IPv6 Route Preferences

Use the IPv6 Route Preferences

page to configure the default preference for

each protocol. These values are arbitrary values in the range of 1 to 255 and

are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric

to determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any

other protocol. The best route to a destination is chosen by selecting the

route with the lowest preference value. When there are multiple routes to a

destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route.

If there is still a tie, the route with the best route metric is chosen. To avoid

problems with mismatched metrics, you must configure different preference

values for each of the protocols.
