Set Up an IPv6 Pass Through Internet Connection

In pass-through mode, the gateway works as a Layer 2 Ethernet switch with two ports (LAN

and WAN Ethernet ports) for IPv6 packets. The gateway does not process any IPv6 header

packets.



To set up a pass-through IPv6 Internet connection:

1.

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

network.

2.

Type

http://www.routerlogin.net

Configure the fixed IPv6 addresses for the WAN connection:

•

IPv6 Address/Prefix Length

. The IPv6 address and prefix length of the gateway

WAN interface.

•

Default IPv6 Gateway

. The IPv6 address of the default IPv6 gateway for the

gateway’s WAN interface.

•

Primary DNS Server

. The primary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain name

records for the gateway.

•

Secondary DNS Server

. The secondary DNS server that resolves IPv6 domain

name records for the gateway.

Note:

If you do not specify the DNS servers, the gateway uses the DNS

servers that are configured for the IPv4 Internet connection on the

Internet Setup screen. (See

Manually Specify an Internet Connection

Without a Login

on page

18.)

7.

Select an IP Address Assignment radio button.

•

Use DHCP Server

. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some

IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.

•

Auto Config

. This is the default setting.

This setting specifies how the gateway assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your

home network (the LAN).

8.

In the

IPv6 Address/Prefix Length

fields, specify the static IPv6 address and prefix length

of the gateway’s LAN interface.

•

Router’s IPv6 Address on WAN

. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired

for the gateway’s WAN (or Internet) 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.

(Optional) In the

Domain Name (If Required)

field, enter a domain name.

You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. Do not enter the domain name for the

IPv4 ISP here. For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, type xxx.yyy.zzz

as the domain name. If your ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field. For

example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes

supplies a domain name.

In the

Login

field, enter the login information for the ISP connection.

This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For example, if your main

mail account is [email protected], you would type JerAB in this field. Some ISPs (like

Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require that you use your full email address when you

log in. If your ISP requires your full email address, type it in this field.

7.

In the

Password

field, enter the password for the ISP connection.

8.

In the

Service Name

field, enter a service name.

If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.

Note:

The default setting of the

Connection Mode

list is

Always On

to

provide a steady IPv6 connection. The gateway never terminates the

connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the

modem is turned off, the gateway attempts to reestablish the

connection immediately after the PPPoE connection becomes

available again.
