To create a static route:
Select Networking > Routing > Static Routing.
In the list of static routes, click Add.
Enter the route name.
If a route is to be immediately active, check the Active box. When a route is added
in an inactive state, it will be listed in the routing table, but will not be used by the
router. The route can be enabled later. This feature is useful if the network that the
route connects to is not available when you added the route. When the network
becomes available, the route can be enabled.
In the IPv6 destination field, enter the IPv6 address of the destination host or
network for this route.
In the IPv6 prefix length field, enter the number of prefix bits in the IPv6 address
that define the destination subnet.
Choose the physical network interface through which this route is accessible
(WAN, LAN, or sit0 tunnel). (The Simple Internet Transition [SIT] is a set of protocol
mechanisms implemented in hosts and routers, along with some operational
guidelines for addressing and deployment, designed to make the transition from
the Internet to IPv6 work with as little disruption as possible. The SIT0 tunnel is a
point-to-point tunnel.)
Enter the IP Address of the gateway through which the destination host or network
can be reached.
In the metric field, specify the priority of the route by choosing a value between 2
and 15. If multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest
metric is used.
Click Save.

Configuring RIP next generation (RIPng)

RIPng (RFC 2080) is a routing protocol based on the distance vector (D-V)
algorithm. RIPng uses UDP packets to exchange routing information through port
521. RIPng uses a hop count to measure the distance to a destination. The hop
count is referred to as metric, or cost. The hop count from a router to a directly-
connected network is 0. The hop count between two directly-connected routers is
1. When the hop count is greater than or equal to 16, the destination network or
