Chapter 7 WAN The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 37 Network > WAN > IPv6 (6rd) LABEL IPv6 Connection Type DESCRIPTION IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) is used when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the NBG-418N v2 has an IPv4 WAN address and you set IPv6/ IPv4 mode to IPv4 only, you can enable 6rd to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP's IPv4 network. The NBG-418N v2 generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels IPv6 traffic to the ISP's border relay router to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The local network can also use IPv4 services. The NBG-418N v2 uses its configured IPv4 WAN IP to route IPv4 traffic to the IPv4 Internet. 6rd Settings 6rd Mode Click the 6rd DHCPv4 radio button to have your ISP generate a 6rd DHCPv4 address automatically. Choose Manual to enter a fixed 6rd DHCPv4 address manually. 6rd IPv6 Prefix Enter the address prefix length to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6 address compose the network address. IPv4 Address Enter the IPv4 address and the IPv4 subnet mask length (1 to 32) in the box field. 6rd Relay Enter the ISP's border relay server's IPv6 address in this field. IPv6 DNS Settings Primary/Secondary Enter the Primary and Secondary DNS address for the IPv6 server in the appropriate DNS Address box fields. LAN IPv6 Address Settings LAN IPv6 Address Enter the IPv6 IP address for the LAN port in this field. LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address Enter the IPv6 Link-local address in the LAN side. This is used by routers when communicating with neighboring devices on the same link. It allows IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each other in the LAN side.i Address Autoconfiguration Settings Enable Autoconfiguration Click Enable Autoconfiguration if you want the devices on your local area network to obtain network address that are not managed by a DHCPv6 server. Autoconfiguration Type Select SLAAC + Stateless DHCPv6 if you want the interface to automatically generate a link-local address via stateless autoconfiguration. Router Advertisement Lifetime Apply Reset Select Stateful(DHCPv6) when the devices connected to your LAN needs to have their TCP/IP configuration set to DHCPv6 or obtain an IPv6 address automatically. Type in the Router Advertisement Lifetime which is amount of time in minutes that a device may have an IPv6 address before it is required to renew the lease. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-418N v2. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. NBG-418N v2 User's Guide 91

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
IPv6 Connection
Type
IPv6 Rapid Deployment (
6rd
) is used when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has
an IPv4 network. When the NBG-418N v2 has an IPv4 WAN address and you set IPv6/
IPv4 mode to IPv4 only, you can enable 6rd to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets
to cross the ISP’s IPv4 network.
The NBG-418N v2 generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels
IPv6 traffic to the ISP’s border relay router to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The
local network can also use IPv4 services. The NBG-418N v2 uses its configured IPv4
WAN IP to route IPv4 traffic to the IPv4 Internet.

LAN IPv6 Address
Enter the
IPv6 IP address
for the LAN port in this field.

Enable
Autoconfiguration
Click
Enable Autoconfiguration
if you want the devices on your local area network to
obtain network address that are not managed by a DHCPv6 server.
Autoconfiguration
Type
Select
SLAAC + Stateless DHCPv6
if you want the interface to automatically generate
a link-local address via stateless autoconfiguration.
Select
Stateful(DHCPv6)
when the devices connected to your LAN needs to have their
TCP/IP configuration set to DHCPv6 or obtain an IPv6 address automatically.
