IPv6 Routing Commands

The Method field contains one of the following values.

The long form of the command includes the same annotations and shows 

whether address autoconfiguration or DHCP client are enabled on the 

interface. When the interface acts as a host interface, the output also shows 

the default gateway on the interface, if one exists.

The following example shows the method of assignment for each IPv6 address 

that is either autoconfigured or leased from a DHCP server.
