How dynamic routing works for IPv6

IPv6 routing table entries are created by default when you enable IPv6. Additional entries are added dynamically in the routing table on receiving Router Advertisement and ICMP redirect messages.

Storage systems populate a default router list and a prefix list, based on the information in the Router Advertisement messages. The default router list is used to select a router for off-link destinations, and the prefix list is used to determine whether a destination address is on-link.
