35.4 Configuring IPv6 Static Routing
Click the link next to IPv6 Static Route in the IP Application > Static Routing screen to display
the screen as shown.
Metric
The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks.
Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise,
but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Add
Click Add to insert a new static route to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation
panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
Clear Click
Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
Index
This field displays the index number of the route. Click a number to edit the static route
entry.
