Routing is turned on by default only if Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or the Bluetooth gateway configuration tool is used. You can enable IP routing manually if you do not use ICS or this Bluetooth tool.

Security Note   Enabling routing can potentially compromise network security. Ensure you understand the IPv6 security consequences of enabling routing on the device.

Note   You can use the NumForwardPackets and MaxNumForwardPacket registry settings to fine tune the amount of memory that is used for routing. For more information, see TCP/IPv4 and v6 Common Registry Settings.

To enable IPv6 routing

  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.
