IPv6 Configuration

The IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) section is where you configure your IPv6

Connection type.

IPv6 Connection Type

There are several connection types to choose from: Static IPv6, Autoconfiguration, 6RD

and Link-local only. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your

IPv6 Internet Service Provider.

Static IPv6 Mode

This mode is used when your ISP provides you with a set IPv6 addresses that does not

change. The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings.

You must enter the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS

Server and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all this information.

6RD Mode

In the 6RD mode, no additional configuration is necessary.

Link-local Mode

The Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with

neighboring nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to

communicate with each other on the LAN side.

Status

The pages in the status section provide you general information about the operational

status of your device.

Status

The System status section allows you to monitor the current status of your

modem/router: the UP time, hardware information, serial number as well as firmware

version information is displayed here. The page also shows extensive information

concerning the ADSL status and current settings.

Statistics

You can view statistics on the processing of IP packets on the networking interfaces. You

will not typically need to view this data, but you may find it helpful when working with

your ISP to diagnose network and Internet data transmission problems. To display

statistics for

any new data, click “Refresh”.

DHCP List

This page shows all DHCP clients (LAN PCs) currently connected to your network. The

table shows the assigned IP address, MAC address and expiration time for each DHCP

leased client.

Diagnostics

The Diagnostics page allows you to test the current configuration.

Click ‘Start’ to let the modem router perform several tasks to verify if the connection is

operational.
