4 3 Set Up IPv6 Tunnel
The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN
connection or vice versa.
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to
reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4.
It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where
both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.
The router provides three tunneling mechanisms:
6to4 , 6rd and DS-Lite . The way to set
up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.
Note:
You must reconfigure the IPv6 Tunnel settings every time you reboot the router. Make sure the desired
WAN connection is connected before the configuration.
4 3 1 Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4
The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network,
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites
, you can try to set up a 6to4
tunnel.
I want to:
Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with the tunnel service.
How can I do that?
1 Visit http://tplinkmodem.net , and log in with the password you set for the router.
2 Go to Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel .
3 Tick the check box, select 6to4 as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN
connection from the drop-down list, then click Save .
Note:
If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet.
Done!
