Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection

6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider's IPv4 network.

6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational domain of

6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service provider. The

IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6.

The 6rd mechanism relies upon an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4

addresses that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping

allows for automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing

stateless operation of 6rd.

With a 6rd tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two

ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:

•

Auto Mode

. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from the

DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses the

6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.

•

Manual Mode

. Select 6rd tunnel. If the router receives option 212, the fields are

automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.



To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection:

1.

Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

The router automatically detects the information in the following sections:

•

6rd (IPv6 Rapid Development) Configuration

. The router detects the service

provider’s IPv4 network and attempts to establish an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection. If

the IPv4 network returns 6rd parameters to the router, the page adjusts to display the

correct settings in this section.

•

Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN

. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired

for the router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix,

which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is

acquired, the field displays Not Available.

•

MTU size (in bytes)

. The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most

Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the

MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. See

Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Internet Connection

The remote relay router is the router to which your router creates a 6to4 tunnel. Make sure

that the IPv4 Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 tunnel settings for the

IPv6 connection.
