LABEL DESCRIPTION
IP Family
Select between IPv4 and IPv6 . Compared to IPv4 , IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is
designed to enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits
(from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. The NR2101 can use IPv4 /
IPv6 dual stack to connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and supports IPv6 rapid deployment
(6RD).

compose the network address.
