Viewing the IPv6 routing table

Use the following procedure display the IPv6 routing table.

Procedure

From the navigation tree, double-click IPv6.
In the IPv6 tree, click IPv6.
In the IPv6 work area, click the Route tab.

Variable definitions

The following table describes the fields of the Route tab.

Variable

Value

Dest

Indicates the destination IPv6 address of the route.

PfxLength

Indicates the number of leading one bits that form the mask as a logical value. The prefix value must match the value in the Dest box. Values range from 0–128

IfIndex

The index value that uniquely identifies the interface to which this entry applies.

NextHop

Indicates the IPv6 address of the next system of a remote route.

Type

Indicates the IPv6 route type.

discard:
Indicates that packets to destinations matching this route are to be discarded.
local:
Indicates a route for which the next hop is the final destination.
remote:
Indicates a route for which the next hop is not the final destination.

Protocol

Indicates the IPv6 route protocol.

Values include:

other:
none of the following
local:
Indicates non-protocol information such as manually configured entries.
netmgmt:
Indicates the static route
ndisc:
Indicates the value obtained from the Neighbor Discovery protocol.

Policy

Indicates the IPv6 route policy which sets conditions that would cause the selection of a multipath route.

	Note
	Unless the mechanism indicated by the IPv6 route protocol specifies otherwise, the policy specifier is the 8-bit Traffic Class field of the IPv6 packet header that is zero extended at the left to a 32-bit value.

Age

Indicates the time, in seconds, since the IPv6 route was last updated.

NextHopRDI

Indicates the Routing Domain ID of the next hop of this route.

	Note
	When this object is unknown or not relevant, this value is set to zero.

Metric

Indicates the IPv6 route metric. Determined by the routing protocol specified in the IPv6 route protocol value.

	Note
	When this object is unknown or not relevant to the protocol indicated by the IPv6 route protocol, the object value is the maximum value (4,294,967,295).
