IPv6 Subnet Masking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided
into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each
character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block’s 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal
characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.
4.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and WAN IP address. Get this
information from your ISP.
4.2 The Layer-2 Interface ATM Screen
The VDSL Router must have a layer-2 interface to allow users to use the DSL port to access the
Internet. The screen varies depending on the interface type you select. Log into the VDSL Router’s
web configurator and click Wireless network > Classic configuration > Advanced Setup >
Layer2 Interface > ATM Interface to manage the ATM layer-2 interfaces.
Note: The ATM and PTM layer-2 interfaces cannot work at the same time.
