Chapter 9: Network Set up IPv6 connections Besides connections to the Internet via the IPv4 protocol, DSM also supports IPv6 address structure through the following two strategies (they can be adopted simultaneously): • Dual stack: An IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration lets you configure your Synology NAS with both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Use this approach to access resources across IPv4 and IPv6 network environments. • Tunneling: Tunneling involves transmitting one protocol inside another through encapsulation. This method allows your Synology NAS to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets and send them across IPv4 networks. To learn how to set up an IPv6-integrated network interface, refer to this article. Further reading • What services on Synology NAS support IPv6? Turn your Synology NAS into a VPN client 55

Chapter 9: Network
Set up IPv6 connections
Besides connections to the Internet via the IPv4 protocol, DSM also supports IPv6 address
structure through the following two strategies (they can be adopted simultaneously):
Dual stack
: An IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack configuration lets you configure your Synology NAS with
both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. Use this approach to access resources across IPv4 and
IPv6 network environments.
Tunneling
: Tunneling involves transmitting one protocol inside another through
encapsulation. This method allows your Synology NAS to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4
packets and send them across IPv4 networks.
