2.
Subnet Prefix Length:
Enter the Prefix length of the Subnet Mask here; The subnet
mask was the forerunner of the modern IP address prefix length. For example a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 conveys exactly the same information as a prefix length of /24, a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.240 is equivalent to a prefix length of /28.
3.
Default Gateway:
Enter the Default Gateway address here; A default gateway is the node
on the computer network that the network software uses when an IP address does not
match any other routes in the routing table.
4.
Primary / Secondary DNS:
You may select to obtain DNS server address automatically
or use following DNS address. You may add IPv6 address Primary DNS address and
secondary DNS address.
5.
MLD Snooping:
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a component of the Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) suite. MLD is used by IPv6 routers for discovering multicast
listeners on a directly attached link, much like IGMP is used in IPv4.
6.
Ds-Lite:
Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite, allows a service provider to share existing IPv4
address space and support both IPv6 and IPv4 clients utilizing an IPv6 infrastructure.
This allows for preservation of the IPv4 address space by reclaiming addresses from the
access network as it migrates to IPv6, and sharing the existing IPv4 addresses among its
customer base. Unlike other migration strategies, DS-Lite combines both tunneling and
network address translation technologies, and decouples the service provider's access
network from the public internet. These features can simplify the migration to IPv6 by
allowing incremental IPv6 deployment within the service provider's network while
continuing to support legacy IPv4 clients.
7. Global Address:
is assigned to a computer or modem by an internet service
provider and can be communicated with from anywhere on the internet. Global IP
addresses are unique and assigned only to a single computer or device.
8. Link local address:
A link-local address is a network address that is valid only for
communications within the network segment (link) or the broadcast domain that the host
is connected to.
7.
Auto-configuration:
Disable or enable this auto configuration setting.
Address auto configuration settings:
8.
Auto-configuration type:
You may set stateless or stateful (Dynamic IPv6).
9.
Router advertisement Lifetime:
You can set the time for the period that the router sends
(broadcast) its router advertisement. Each router periodically multicasts a Router
Advertisement from each of its multicast interfaces, announcing the IP address(es) of that
interface. Hosts discover the addresses of their neighboring routers simply by listening
for advertisements. When a host attached to a multicast link starts up, it may multicast a
