Overview of IPv6 Unicast Routing

NOTE
If you define multiple default routes, the route that has the lowest metric is used. If multiple default routes have the
same lowest metric, the system picks one of the routes.
You can also configure blackhole routes—traffic to these destinations is silently dropped.
The criteria for choosing from multiple routes with the longest matching network mask is set by
choosing the relative route priorities.
Relative Route Priorities
Table 66 lists the relative priorities assigned to routes depending on the learned source of the route.
NOTE
Although these priorities can be changed, do not attempt any manipulation unless you are expertly familiar with the
possible consequences.
To change the relative route priority, use the following command:
configure iproute ipv6 priority [ripng | blackhole | icmp | static | ospfv3-intra |
ospfv3-inter | ospfv3-as-external | ospfv3-extern1 | ospfv3-extern2] <priority>
