> 1. Choose IP > Routing.

> You see the IP Routing Configuration dialog box.

> 2. Click Create.

> You see the Create IP Route dialog box.

> 3. Set the Dest field to the IPv6 destination address.
> 4. Set the Mask field to the IPv6 subnet mask.
> 5. Set the Gateway field to the IPv6 default gateway.
> 6. (Optional) Set the Metric field to the desired route metric.
> 7. Select the interface from the Interface drop-down menu.
> 8. Click Create to save these changes or click Close to discard any unsaved changes.
