The IPv6 page displays.
5.
From the Internet Connection Type menu, select 6to4 Tunnel.
The page adjusts.
The modem router automatically detects the information in the Router’s IPv6 Address On LAN field.
This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the modem router’s LAN interface. The number
after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6
address.
6.
Select a Remote 6to4 Relay Router radio button:
•
Auto. Your modem router uses any remote relay modem router that is available on the Internet. This
is the default setting.
•
Static IP Address. Enter the static IPv4 (not IPv6) address of the remote relay modem router. Your
IPv6 ISP usually provides this address.
7.
Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network
(the LAN) through a DHCP server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client function. This is the default setting.
•
Auto Config. The modem router automatically configures its IPv6 address based on the IPv6 protocol.
8.
To specify the interface ID for the IPv6 address of the modem router’s LAN interface, select the Use
This Interface ID check box, and enter the interface ID.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its MAC address.
9.
Select the IPv6 filtering mode:
•
Secured. In secured mode, which is the default mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and
UDP packets.
•
Open. In open mode, the modem router inspects UDP packets only.
10.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
