Currently, the test breaks if the SUT already has a default route configured for IPv6. Fix by adding "metric 9999" to the `ip -6 ro add` command, so that multiple default routes can coexist.

Best regards,

The intent of selftests is to run them in a clean environment with known settings. ie, there should not be a conflicting default route.
