LABEL DESCRIPTION
IPv6 LAN Setup
Link Local Address
Type Select Manual to manually enter a link local address. Select EUI64 to use the EUI-64
format to generate a link local address from the Ethernet MAC address.
IPv6 Address If you selected Manual in the Link Local Address Type field, enter the LAN IPv6
address you want to assign to your Device in hexadecimal notation, for example,
fe80::1 (factory default).
Prefix Enter the address prefix to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6 address
compose the network address.
MLD Snooping Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the
presence of MLD hosts who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of
multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network. Select
Enabled to activate
MLD Snooping on the Device. This allows the Device to check MLD packets passing
through it and learn the multicast group membership. It helps reduce multicast traffic.
Lan Global Identifier
Type Select Manual to manually enter a LAN Identifier as the interface ID to identify the
LAN interface. The LAN Identifier is appended to the IPv6 address prefix to create the
routable global IPv6 address. Select
EUI64 to use the EUI-64 format to generate an
interface ID from the Ethernet MAC address.
Lan Identifier If you selected Manual , enter the LAN Identifier in this field. The LAN identifier should
be unique and 64 bits in hexadecimal form. Every 16 bit block should be separated by
a colon as in XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX where X is a hexadecimal character. Blocks of
zeros can be represented with double colons as in XXXX:XXXX::XXXX.
IPv6 ULA Address
Type A unique local address (ULA) is a unique IPv6 address for use in private networks but
not routable in the global IPv6 Internet.
Select Auto Generate to have the Device automatically generate a globally unique
address for the LAN IPv6 address. Select Manual to enter a static IPv6 ULA address.
The address format is like fdxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::/64.
IPv6 ULA Address If Manual is selected in the IPv6 ULA Address Type field, enter the IPv6 address
prefix that the Device uses for the LAN IPv6 address.
LAN IPv6 Address Setting
Delegate prefix from
WAN Select this option to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the service
provider or an uplink router.
Static Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the Device’s LAN IPv6 address.
Static IPv6 Address
Prefix If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 address prefix that the Device uses for
the LAN IPv6 address.
Prefix length If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 prefix length that the Device 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.
Preferred Lifetime Enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.
Valid Lifetime Enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.
