Section 5 - Connect to the Internet Router Advertisement Path: Network > IPv6 > LAN Settings > Router Advertisement Router Advertisements are analogous to IPv4 DHCP assignments for LAN clients, in that the router will assign an IP address and supporting network information to devices that are configured to accept such details. Router Advertisement is required in an IPv6 network is required for stateless auto configuration of the IPv6 LAN. By configuring the Router Advertisement Daemon on this router, the router will listen on the LAN for router solicitations and respond to these LAN hosts with router advisements. To configure router advertisement settings: 1. Click Network > IPv6 > LAN Settings > Router Advertisement tab. 2. Complete the fields in the table on the next page and click Save. Field Status Advertise Mode Advertise Interval Managed Other Router Preference MTU Router Lifetime Save Description Toggle to ON to enable this feature. Select Unsolicited Multicast to send router advertisements (RA's) to all interfaces in the multicast group. To restrict RA's to well-known IPv6 addresses on the LAN, and thereby reduce overall network traffic, select Unicast only. When advertisements are unsolicited multicast packets, this interval sets the maximum time between advertisements from the interface. The actual duration between advertisements is a random value between one third of this field and this field. The default is 30 seconds. Toggle to ON to use the administered/stateful protocol for address auto-configuration. If set to OFF, the host uses administered/stateful protocol for non-address auto configuration. Toggle to ON to use administered/stateful protocol of other (i.e., non-address) information auto configuration. This parameter (low/medium/high) determines the preference associated with the RADVD process of the router. This is useful if there are other RADVD-enabled devices on the LAN as it helps avoid conflicts for IPv6 clients. The router advertisement will set this maximum transmission unit (MTU) value for all nodes in the LAN that are auto-configured by the router. The default is 1500. This value is present in RAs and indicates the usefulness of this router as a default router for the interface. The default is 3600 seconds. Upon expiration of this value, a new RADVD exchange must take place between the host and this router. Click Save at the bottom to save and activate your settings. D-Link DSR-Series User Manual 81
