Set Up IPv6 Tunnel
The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN
connection or vice versa.
IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to
reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4.
It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where
both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.
The router provides three tunneling mechanisms: 6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The way to set
up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.
Note:
You must reconfigure the IPv6 Tunnel settings every time you reboot the router. Make sure the desired WAN connection
is connected before the configuration.
4. 3. 1.
Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4
The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network,
you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an
IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites, you can try to set up a 6to4
tunnel.
I want to:
Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with the tunnel service.
How can I do that?
1.
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you
set for the router.
2.
Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
IPv6 Tunnel
.
3.
Tick the check box, select
6to4
as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN
connection from the drop-down list, then click
Save
.
