25.1.2 Route selection criteria

In static routing, routes to the same destination network are grouped by distance, and a route from the group that has the smallest distance is selected.

When the maximum number of multipath routes is set to 2 or greater, the routes are configured according to the priorities given in the following table. When the maximum number of multipath routes is set to 1, the route with the highest priority is selected.

The default maximum number of multipaths is 6. You can change this value by using the ipv6 route static maximum-paths configuration command.

Table 25-1: Route selection priority
