IPv6 Internet connections and IPv6 addresses
[router mode]
The AP supports multiple types of IPv6 Internet connections. Which connection type
you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP gave
you.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see Set up
an IPv6 6to4 tunnel Internet connection [router mode] on page 53).
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the AP uses, use the Auto Detect
connection type, which lets the AP detect the IPv6 type that is in use (see Use Auto
Detect for an IPv6 Internet connection [router mode] on page 50).
•
If your Internet connection does not use pass-through, a fixed IP address, DHCP,
6rd, or PPPoE but is IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the AP
autoconfigure its IPv6 connection (see Use Auto Config for an IPv6 Internet connection
[router mode] on page 51).
The AP supports the following IPv6 connection types:
•
Auto Detect. For more information, see Use Auto Detect for an IPv6 Internet
connection [router mode] on page 50.
•
Auto Config. For more information, see Use Auto Config for an IPv6 Internet
connection [router mode] on page 51.
•
6to4 tunnel. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 6to4 tunnel Internet connection
[router mode] on page 53.
•
Pass-through. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 passthrough Internet
connection [router mode] on page 56.
•
Fixed. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 fixed Internet connection [router
mode] on page 57.
•
DHCP. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 DHCP Internet connection [router
mode] on page 59.
•
6rd. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 6rd Internet connection [router mode]
on page 54.
•
PPPoE. For more information, see Set up an IPv6 PPPoE Internet connection [router
mode] on page 60.
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through,
the AP starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface.
This process is referred to as IPv6 filtering. The AP creates connection records and
checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not destined for the AP itself
