IPv6 Address (This is available only when you select
IPv6/IPv4 DualStack
or
IPv6 Only
in the
IPv6/IPv4
Mode
field.)
IPv6 Address
Select
Automatic
if you want to have the Device use the IPv6 prefix from the connected
router’s Router Advertisement (RA) to generate an IPv6 address.
•
Select
Get IPv6 Address From DHCPv6 Server(IA_NA)
if you want to obtain an IPv6
address from a DHCPv6 server. The IP address assigned by a DHCPv6 server has priority
over the IP address automatically generated by the Device using the IPv6 prefix from an
RA. This option is available only when you choose to get your IPv6 address
automatically.
•
Select
Prefix Delegation(IA_PD)
to use DHCP PD (Prefix Delegation) which enables
the Device to pass the IPv6 prefix information to its LAN hosts. The hosts can then use
the prefix to generate their IPv6 addresses.
Select
Static
if you have a fixed IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
Select
None
to not assign any IPv6 address to this WAN connection.
WAN IPv6
Address
Enter the IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
Prefix
Length
Enter the address prefix length to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6 address
compose the network address.
Next Hop
Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the
same segment as your Device's interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their
destinations.
IPv6 Routing Feature (This is available only when you select
IPv6/IPv4 DualStack
or
IPv6 Only
in the
IPv6/IPv4 Mode
field. You can enable IPv6 routing features in the following section.)
MLD Proxy
Enable
Select this checkbox to have the Device act as an MLD proxy on this connection. This allows
the Device to get subscription information and maintain a joined member list for each
multicast group. It can reduce multicast traffic significantly.
Apply as
Default
Gateway
Select this option to have the Device use the WAN interface of this connection as the system
default gateway.
IPv6 DNS
Server
Configure the IPv6 DNS server in the following section.
IPv6 DNS
Select
Dynamic
to have the Device get the IPv6 DNS server addresses from the ISP
automatically.
Select
Static
to have the Device use the IPv6 DNS server addresses you configure
manually.
IPv6 DNS
Server 1
Enter the first IPv6 DNS server address assigned by the ISP.
IPv6 DNS
Server 2
Enter the second IPv6 DNS server address assigned by the ISP.
VLAN (These fields appear when the
Type
is set to
ADSL/VDSL over PTM
.)
Active
Select this option to add the VLAN tag (specified below) to the outgoing traffic through this
connection.
802.1p
IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame
that contains bits to define class of service.
Select the IEEE 802.1p priority level (from 0 to 7) to add to traffic through this connection.
The greater the number, the higher the priority level.
802.1q
Type the VLAN ID number (from 1 to 4094) for traffic through this connection.
QoS
Rate Limit
Enter the rate limit for the connection. This is the maximum transmission rate allowed for
traffic on this connection.
