Address/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway
- the IPv4 address/ subnet mask/ default gateway
assigned, in dotted-decimal notation.
MTU Size
- The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks
is 1480 Bytes. For some ISPs, you may need to modify the MTU. But this is rarely required,
and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
If your ISP gives you one or two DNS IPv6 addresses, select
Use the following IPv6 DNS
Servers
and enter the
Primary IPv6 DNS
and
Secondary IPv6 DNS
into the correct fields.
Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned from ISP dynamically.
Primary IPv6 DNS
- Enter the DNS IPv6 address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your
ISP.
Secondary IPv6 DNS
- Enter another DNS IPv6 address in dotted-decimal notation provided
by your ISP.
IPv6 Address Assign Type
- There are two types of assignation for IPv6 address: SLAAC
(Stateless address auto-configuration) and DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
for IPv6) Server.
SLAAC
•
IPv6 Address Prefix
-The Prefix of IPv6 Address
DHCPv6 Server
•
Release Time
-
the length of time a network user will be allowed to keep connecting to the
router with the current DHCPv6 Address. Enter the amount of time (in seconds) that the
DHCPv6 address will be leased. The time range is 1~691200 seconds. The default value
is 86400 seconds.

Ping
-
This diagnostic tool troubleshoots connectivity, reachability, and name resolution to a
given host or gateway.
Traceroute
- This diagnostic tool tests the performance of a connection.
Note:
You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If
pinging/tracerouting the IP address is successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name
is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case, ensure that the domain name
you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.
IP Address/Domain Name
- Enter the IP Address or Domain Name of the PC whose
connection you wish to diagnose.
Pings Count -
Specifies the number of Echo Request messages sent. The default is 4.
Ping Packet Size -
Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 64.
Ping Timeout -
Time to wait for a response, in milliseconds. The default is 800.
Traceroute Max TTL -
Set the maximum number of hops (max TTL to be reached) in the
path to search for the target (destination). The default is 20.
