Configuring IPv6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) intended
to succeed Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). Configuring LAN properties for an
IPv6 network depends on the type of Internet connection that you have.
Configuring IPv6 LAN Connections
In the IPv6 mode, the LAN DHCP server is enabled by default (similar to the IPv4
mode). The DHCPv6 server assigns IPv6 addresses from the configured address
pools that use the IPv6 prefix length assigned to the LAN.
To configure IPv6 LAN settings on your device, you must first set the IP mode to
the following mode:
•
LAN: IPv4+IPv6, WAN: IPv4+IPv6
See
for more information on how to set the IP mode.
To configure IPv6 LAN settings:
STEP 1
Select
Networking
>

>
IPv6 LAN Configuration
.
STEP 2
Enter the following information to configure the IPv6 LAN address:
STEP 3
Click
Save
or continue to configure IPv6 DHCP LAN settings.
IPv6 Address
Enter the IPv6 address of the device.
The default IPv6 address for the gateway is fec0:1
(or FEC0:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001).
You can change this 128-bit IPv6 address based on
your network requirements.
IPv6 Prefix Length
Enter the IPv6 prefix length.
The IPv6 network (subnet) is identified by the initial
bits of the address called the prefix. By default, the
prefix is 64 bits long.
All hosts in the network have the identical initial bits
for their IPv6 address; you set the number of
common initial bits in the network addresses in this
field.
