Creating IP interfaces and routes
3
The destination IPv6 address of the virtual port, if IPv6 is used. The address
must be an IPv6 global, unicast address. Optionally specify the prefix length.
This is used for IPv6 addresses instead of a netmask. If prefix_len is not
specified, the prefix length learned from the Neighbor Discovery protocol will
be used.
dest_IPv4_addr netmask
The destination IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an IPv4
address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well. Use a.b.c.d.
format.
gateway_router The IP address of an IP router that can route packets to the destination virtual
port IP address. The gateway address must be on the same IP subnet as one
of the port IP addresses.
metric The link metric associated with the route. Valid values are 0-255. The default
value is 0. A low value encourages the use of the route, and a high value
discourages the use of a route.
