AIX must be configured with a default gateway for IPv6 if the system uses IPv6 unless the system is a router.

Check Text (C-215264r991589_chk)
If the system is a router, this is Not Applicable.
If the system does not use IPv6, this is Not Applicable.
Determine if the system has a default route configured for IPv6 by running:
# netstat -r | grep default
default 10.11.20.1 UG 1 1823 en0 - -
If a default route is not defined, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-16460r294244_fix)
Configure an IPv6 default route on the system:
# smitty route
