Configuring the IP Mode

Wide area network configuration properties are configurable for both IPv4 and

IPv6 networks. You can enter information about your Internet connection type and

other parameters in these pages.

To select an IP mode:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

IP Mode

.

STEP

2

From the

IP Mode

drop-down menu, choose one of the following options:

STEP

3

(Optional) If you are using 6to4 tunneling, which allows IPv6 packets to be

transmitted over an IPv4 network, do the following:

a.

Click

Show Static 6to4 DNS Entry

.

b.

In the

Domain

and

IP

fields, enter up to five domain-to-IP mappings.

The 6to4 tunneling feature is typically used when a site or end user wants to

connect to the IPv6 Internet using the existing IPv4 network.

Configuring IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) intended

to succeed Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Configuring WAN properties for an

IPv6 network depends on the type of internet connection that you have.

Configuring the IPV6 WAN Connection

You can configure your device to be a DHCPv6 client of the ISP for this WAN or to

use a static IPv6 address provided by the ISP.

To configure IPv6 WAN settings on your device, you must first set the IP mode to

one of the following modes:

•

LAN:IPv6, WAN:IPv6

•

LAN:IPv4+IPv6, WAN:IPv4

•

LAN:IPv4+IPv6, WAN:IPv4+IPv6

See

Configuring the IP Mode

for instructions on how to set the IP mode.

Configuring SLAAC

To self-assign an address based on the IPv6 prefix, configure the device to use

use Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) for IPv6 client address

assignment.

To use SLAAC:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

IPv6

>

IPv6 WAN Configuration

.

STEP

2

In the

WAN Connection Type

field, select SLAAC. For stateless DHCP, it is not

necessary to have a DHCPv6 server available at the ISP. Instead, an ICMPv6

discover message originating from your device is used for auto-configuration.

.

Configuring DHCPv6

If your ISP provides you with a dynamically assigned address, configure the

device to be a DHCPv6 client.

>

IPv6 WAN Configuration

.

STEP

2

In the

WAN Connection Type

field, select

Automatic Configuration-DHCPv6

.

The gateway connects to the ISP's DHCPv6 server for a leased address.

STEP

To automate assigning prefixes to your device (the DHCP client), select the Prefix

Delegation Enable radio button.

Configuring a Static IPv6 WAN Address

If your ISP assigns you a fixed address to access the WAN, configure the device to

use a static IPv6 address.

To configure a static IPv6 WAN address:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

IPv6

>

IPv6 WAN Configuration

.

STEP

2

From the

WAN Connection Type

menu, select

Static IPv6

.

STEP

Enter this information:

Click

.

IPv6 Address

IPv6 address of the WAN port.

IPv6 Prefix Length

Length of the IPv6 prefix (typically defined by the

ISP). The IPv6 network (subnet) is identified by the

initial bits of the address called the prefix. All hosts

in the subnetwork have the identical prefix.

For example, in the IPv6 address

2001:0DB8:AC10:FE01::,

the prefix is

2001

.

Default IPv6 Gateway

IPv6 address of the default gateway. This is

typically the IP address of the server at the ISP.

Static DNS 1

IP address of the primary IPv6 DNS server.

Static DNS 2

IP address of the secondary IPv6 DNS server.

Configuring PPPoE IPv6 Settings

You can run IPv4 PPPoE, IPv6 PPPoE, or both. If you run both, your IPv6 WAN

PPPoE settings must match your IPv4 WAN PPPoE settings. If they do not match, a

message is displayed asking if you want to set the IPv6 protocol to match the IPv4

protocol. See

Configuring PPPoE

.

To configure the PPPoE IPv6 settings:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

IPv6

>

IPv6 WAN Configuration

.

STEP

2

In the

WAN Connection Type

field, choose

PPPoE IPv6

.

STEP

3

Enter the following information (it might be necessary to contact your ISP to obtain

your PPPoE login information):

Username

Username assigned to you by the ISP.

Password

Password assigned to you by the ISP.

Connect on Demand

If your ISP charges based on the amount of time

that you are connected, select the radio button.

When selected, the Internet connection is active

only when traffic is present. If the connection is

idle—that is, no traffic is flowing—the connection is

closed. In the

Max

Idle Time

field, enter the number

of minutes that must elapse with no traffic detected

on the link before the link is shut down.

Keep Alive

Keeps the WAN link up by sending a keep-alive

message through the port. In the redial period field,

enter the number of seconds after which the

device attempts to reconnect if it is disconnected.

Authentication Type

Authentication types:

Auto-negotiation

—A server sends a configuration

request specifying the security algorithm set on

the server. The device replies with its

authentication credentials, including the security

type sent by the server.

PAP

—Use the Password Authentication Protocol

(PAP) to connect to the ISP.

CHAP

—Use Challenge Handshake Authentication

Protocol (CHAP) to connect with the ISP.

MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPv2

—Use Microsoft

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol to

connect to the ISP.

Service Name

Name that your ISP might require to log onto the

PPPoE server.

MTU

Maximum transmission unit is the size of the largest

packet that can be sent over the network.

Unless a change is required by your ISP, we

recommend that you choose

Auto

. The standard

MTU value for Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes. For

PPPoE connections, the value is 1492 bytes. If your

ISP requires a custom MTU setting, choose

Manual.

Size

MTU size. If your ISP requires a custom MTU

setting, enter the MTU size.

Address Mode

static, enter the IPv6 address in the next field.

IPv6 Prefix Length

IPv6 prefix length.

Default IPv6 Gateway

IP address of the default IPv6 gateway.

Static DNS 1

IP address of the primary DNS server.

Static DNS 2

IP address of the secondary DNS server.
