11.6.8.3 Configuring IPv6 Router Route Preference Page

Use this panel to configure the default preference for each protocol. These values are arbitrary values in
the range of 1 to 255 and are independent of route metrics. Most routing protocols use a route metric to
determine the shortest path known to the protocol, independent of any other protocol. The best route to a
destination is chosen by selecting the route with the lowest preference value. When there are multiple
routes to a destination, the preference values are used to determine the preferred route. If there is still a
tie, the route with the best route metric will be chosen. To avoid problems with mismatched metrics you
must configure different preference values for each of the protocols.
