7.4. Add an IPv6 route through an interface
Not often needed, sometimes in cases of dedicated point-to-point links.
7.4.1. Using "ip"
Usage:
# /sbin/ip -6 route add <ipv6network>/<prefixlength> dev <device> ¬ metric 1 |
Example:
# /sbin/ip -6 route add 2000::/3 dev eth0 metric 1 |
Metric "1" is used here to be compatible with the metric used by route, because the default metric on using "ip" is "1024".
7.4.2. Using "route"
Usage:
# /sbin/route -A inet6 add <network>/<prefixlength> dev <device> |
Example:
# /sbin/route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 dev eth0 |
