MLD Snooping

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence

of MLD hosts who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast

groups the hosts want to join on its network. Select

Enable MLD Snooping

to activate MLD

Snooping on the Device. This allows the Device to check MLD packets passing through it and

learn the multicast group membership. It helps reduce multicast traffic.

MLD Mode

Select

Standard Mode

to have the Device forward IPv6 multicast packets to a port that

joins the IPv6 multicast group and broadcast unknown IPv6 multicast packets from the WAN

to all LAN ports.

Select

Blocking Mode

to have the Device block all unknown IPv6 multicast packets from

the WAN.

LAN IPv6

Address Assign

Setup

Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:

•

Stateless

: The Device uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router

Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the Device send IPv6 prefix information in

router advertisements periodically and in response to router solicitations. DHCPv6 server

is disabled.

•

Stateful

: The Device uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is

enabled to have the Device act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to DHCPv6

clients.

•

Stateless and Stateful

: The Device uses both IPv6 stateless and stateful

autoconfiguration. The LAN IPv6 clients can obtain IPv6 addresses either through router

advertisements or through DHCPv6.

•

LAN IPv6 DNS

Assign Setup

Select how the Device provide DNS server and domain name information to the clients:

•

From Router Advertisement

: The Device provides DNS information through router

advertisements.

•

From DHCPv6 Server

: The Device provides DNS information through DHCPv6.

•

From RA & DHCPv6 Server

: The Device provides DNS information through both router

advertisements and DHCPv6.

DHCPv6 Configuration

if your ISP dynamically assigns IPv6 DNS server information.

Select

User-Defined

if you have the IPv6 address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server

IPv6 addresses the Device passes to the DHCP clients.

Select

None

if you do not want to configure IPv6 DNS servers.

DNS Query

Scenario

Select how the Device handles clients’ DNS information requests.

•

IPv4/IPv6 DNS Server

: The Device forwards the requests to both the IPv4 and IPv6

DNS servers and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.

•

IPv6 DNS Server Only

: The Device forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server and

sends clients the DNS information it receives.

•

IPv4 DNS Server Only

: The Device forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server and

sends clients the DNS information it receives.

•

IPv6 DNS Server First

: The Device forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server first

and then the IPv4 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.

•

IPv4 DNS Server First

: The Device forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server first

The Static DHCP Screen

This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on

their MAC Addresses.

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is

assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,

00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

Use this screen to change your Device’s static DHCP settings. Click

Network Setting > Home

Networking

> Static DHCP

to open the following screen.

The UPnP Screen

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for

simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a

network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.

In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.

See
