Static
Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the SBG’s LAN interface.
Note: This fixed address is for local hosts to access the Web Configurator
only as the global LAN IPv6 address might be changed by your ISP
any time. This address is not the routing gateway’s address for LAN
IPv6 hosts.
Static IPv6 Address Prefix
Enter the address prefix to represent the SBG’s static LAN IPv6 address.
Prefix Length
If you select
Static
, enter the IPv6 prefix length that the SBG 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.
LAN Global Identifier Type
Select
EUI-64
to allow clients to assign themselves a 64-bit Extended Unique Identifier
(EUI) without DHCP.

IP Address
This field
shows an IPv6 address created using the
Static IPv6 Address Prefix
and the
LAN Identifier
you input.
Route Advertisement State
LAN Address Assign Setup
Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:
•
Stateless / Auto

Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the SBG send IPv6 prefix information
in router advertisements periodically and in response to router solicitations.
DHCPv6 server is disabled.
•
Stateful
/ DHCP
: The SBG uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server
is enabled to have the SBG act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to
DHCPv6 clients.
LAN DNS Assign Setup
Select how the SBG provide DNS server and domain name information to the clients:
•
From Router Advertisement
: The SBG provides DNS information through router
advertisements.
•
From DHCPv6 Server
: The SBG provides DNS information through DHCPv6.
DHCPv6 Setting

This shows the status of the DHCPv6.
DHCPv6 Server
displays if you configured the
SBG to act as a DHCPv6 server which assigns IPv6 addresses and/or DNS information
to clients.
IPv6 Start Address
If DHCPv6 is enabled, specify the first IPv6 address in the pool of addresses that can
be assigned to DHCPv6 clients.
IPv6 End Address
If DHCPv6 is enabled, specify the last IPv6 address in the pool of addresses that can
be assigned to DHCPv6 clients.
IPv6 Domain Name
If DHCPv6 is enabled, specify the domain name to be assigned to DHCPv6 clients.
IPv6 DNS Values
IPv6 DNS Server 1-3
Select
From WAN Interface
if your ISP dynamically assigns IPv6 DNS server
information.
Select
Static
if you have the IPv6 address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server IPv6
addresses the SBG passes to the DHCP clients.
Select
DNS Proxy
if you have the DNS proxy service. The SBG redirects clients’ DNS
queries to a DNS server for resolving domain names.
