Enabling IPv6 Forwarding (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

Routing is the process of forwarding packets between connected network segments, also known as links or subnets. IPv6 routers are attached to two or more IPv6 network segments and enable hosts on those segments to forward IPv6 packets between them. IPv6 packets are exchanged and processed on each host.

To enable IPv6 forwarding

  1. At a command prompt, type ipv6 ifc Ifindex forwards, where IfIndex is the index number of the interface in which to enable forwarding.

  2. Press ENTER.
