How to Configure IPv6 Gateway Routes

Step 1. Configure an IPv6 gateway route

1. Go to CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Network.
2. In the left menu, click Routing.
3. Click Lock.
4. Click + to add a gateway route to the IPv6 Routing Table:
   
   • Name – Enter a name.
   • Target Network Address – Enter the IPv6 network. E.g., ::0/0 for the default route
   • Route Type – Select gateway.
   • Gateway – The gateway IP address. E.g., 2001:db8:6299::ffff
   • Trust Level – Select the trust level. Use Untrusted for WAN connections,
   • Route Metric – Enter the preference for the route. When two identical routes are present, the route with the lower preference is used.
   
5. Click OK.
6. Click Send Changes and Activate.

Step 2. Activate the network configuration

After you have configured the network route, you must activate your new network configuration.

1. Go to CONTROL > Box.
2. In the left menu, expand Network and click Activate new network configuration.
3. Click Soft.

The gateway route is now active on the CONTROL > Network page. If the remote gateway no longer answers ARP requests, the route is placed in a pending state until the gateway is reachable again.
