Router’sIPv6AddressonLAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the
router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix, which is
also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is acquired, the
field displays Not Available.
5.
(Optional) In the User Class (If Required) field, enter a host name.
Most people can leave this field blank, but if your ISP gave you a specific host name, enter it
here.
6.
(Optional) In the Domain Name (If Required) field, enter a domain name.
You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. Do not enter the domain name for the IPv4
ISP here. For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, type xxx.yyy.zzz as the
domain name. If your ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field. For example,
Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes supplies a
domain name.

Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:

Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices but some IPv6
systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.

network (the LAN).
8.
(Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID to be used
for the IPv6 address of the router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC address.

•
Secured. In secured mode, which is the default mode, the router inspects both TCP and
UDP packets.
