Prefix length
If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 prefix length that the Device uses to
generate the LAN IPv6 address.
An IPv6 prefix length
specifies how many most significant bits (starting from the left)
in the address compose the network address. This field displays the bit number of
the IPv6 subnet mask.
Preferred Lifetime
Enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.
Valid Lifetime
Enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.
LAN IPv6 Address
Assign Setup
Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:
•
Stateless:
The Device uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router
Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the Device send IPv6 prefix
information in router advertisements periodically and in response to router
solicitations. DHCPv6 server is disabled.
•
Stateful:
The Device uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is
enabled to have the Device act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to
DHCPv6 clients.
•
Stateless and Stateful:
The Device uses both IPv6 stateless and stateful
autoconfiguration. The LAN IPv6 clients can obtain IPv6 addresses either through
router advertisements or through DHCPv6.
LAN IPv6 DNS
Assign Setup
Select how the Device provide DNS server and domain name information to the
clients:
•
Stateless:
The Device uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router
Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the Device send IPv6 prefix
information in router advertisements periodically and in response to router
solicitations. DHCPv6 server is disabled.
•
Stateful:
The Device uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is
enabled to have the Device act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to
DHCPv6 clients.
•
Stateless and Stateful:
The Device uses both IPv6 stateless and stateful
autoconfiguration. The LAN IPv6 clients can obtain IPv6 addresses either through
router advertisements or through DHCPv6.
DHCPv6
DHCPv6 Server
Use this field to
Enable
or
Disable
DHCPv6 server on the Device.
DNSv6 Mode
Select the DNS role (
Proxy
or
Relay
) that you want the Device to act in the IPv6 LAN
network. Alternatively, select
Manual
and specify the DNS servers’ IPv6 address in
the fields below.
Primary DNS
This field is available if you choose
Manual
as the DNSv6 mode. Enter the first DNS
server IPv6 address the Device passes to the DHCP clients.
Secondary DNS
This field is available if you choose
Manual
as the DNSv6 mode. Enter the second
DNS server IPv6 address the Device passes to the DHCP clients.
Information refresh
time
Enter the number of seconds a DHCPv6 client should wait before refreshing
information retrieved from DHCPv6.
