Field Reference
Table 54-35 Add/Edit IPv6 Static Route Dialog Box
Element Description
Interface Enter or Select the interface to which this static route applies.
IPv6 Network Enter or Select the destination network(s). You can provide one or more
IP address entries, one or more Networks/Hosts objects, or a
combination of both; separate the entries with commas.
Enter two colons (::) to specify a default route.
IPv6 Gateway Enter or Select the gateway router which is the next hop for this route.
You can provide an IP address, or a Networks/Hosts object.
Note If an IP address from one of the security appliance’s interfaces
is used as the Gateway IP address, the security appliance will
resolve the designated IP address in the packet instead of
resolving the Gateway IP address.
Metric The Metric is a measurement of the “expense” of a route, based on the
number of hops (hop count) to the network on which a specific host
resides. Hop count is the number of networks that a network packet
must traverse, including the destination network, before it reaches its
final destination. Because the hop count includes the destination
network, all directly connected networks have a metric of 1.
Enter the number of hops to the destination network. Valid values range
from 1 to 255; the default value is 1.
The maximum number of equal-cost (equal-metric) routes that can be
defined per interface is three. You cannot add a route with the same
metric on different interfaces that are on the same network.
Tunneled Select this option to specify the route as the default tunnel gateway for
VPN traffic. You can configure only one default tunneled gateway per
device. Available only on ASA 7.0+ devices in routed mode.
