Configuring IPv6 on your router

TRENDnet User’s Guide

Network > IPv6 Setting

IPv6 is the latest Internet Protocol (IP) that uses a new addressing system that offers more addresses that the current IPv4 standard. Your router supports this latest

technology and can be configured with the following connection types. Stateless DHCPv6, Stateful DHCPv6, Link-Local, Static, PPPoE, and 6to4. Please consult with your local ISP (Internet Service Provider) to obtain information in regard to the IPv6 connection type.

Note: In order to avoid any software conflict, please be sure to remove or disable any PPPoE client software on your computer when using the PPPoE connection type.

1.Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page” on page 24).

2.Click on Network, and click on IPv6 Settings.

3.Review the IPv6 settings.

•Static: Please select this connection type if your ISP provides you with a set of IPv6 static addresses. Configuration settings, such as IPv6 address, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server, and Subnet Prefix Length are required and will be entered manually. Please contact your local ISP for all relevant information.

o Use Link-Local Address:To facilitate the use of link-local address for communications within the segment of a local network

o WAN IPv6 Address: When using Link-Local Address, your address will be displayed here. Otherwise, your local ISP will assign this address to you

Subnet Prefix Length: Please leave the default at 64

Default Gateway: Your local ISP will assign this address to you

Primary DNS Server: Your local ISP will assign this address to you

Secondary DNS Server: Your local ISP will assign this address to you

TEW-691GR

LAN IPv6 Address: This will be the IPv6 address assigned to your router

LAN Prefix Length: LAN Prefix Length will be displayed here

LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address: IPv6 Link-Local Address will be displayed here

oAutoconfiguration Type: Set up IPv6 Autoconfiguration in this section in order to have IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients on the local area network. The options are Stateless Auto, Stateless DHCPv6, DHCPv6 (Stateful). Stateless Auto: When connected to an IPv6 network utilizing ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6) router discovery messages, IPv6 hosts will be configured automatically. Stateless DHCPv6: A stateless DHCP server will only provide configuration information to the nodes and will rely on ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6) router discovery messages to assign IPv6 addresses. DHCPv6(Stateful): Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. Stateless address autoconfiguration for IPv6 can be used to acquire access in an IPv6 network, however, it is generally recommended to use DHCPv6 instead to assign addresses, name servers and other configuration information to the clients.

•Stateless DHCPv6: TEW-691GR WAN port on an IPv6 network can use the router ICMPv6 RA to crate global IPv6 address dynamically and use DHCPv6 client to obtain configuration information such as a list of DNS recursive name servers and search list.

Manually configure DNS:When enabled, users will be given the options to manually enter DNS servers

Primary DNS Server: Your local ISP will assign this address to you

Secondary DNS Server: Your local ISP will assign this address to you

Enable DHCP-PD:Enable the DHCP Prefix Delegation which is used to assign a network address prefix to a user site, configuring the user's router with the prefix to be used for each LAN. This is one of the methods for delegating IPv6 address prefixes to an IPv6 subscriber's network (or "site").

LAN IPv6 Address: Please enter the IPv6 Address here

LAN Prefix Length: LAN Prefix Length will be displayed here

LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address: IPv6 Link-Local Address will be displayed here

Autoconfiguration Type: Set up IPv6 Autoconfiguration in this section in order to have IPv6 addresses assigned to the clients on the local area network. The options are Stateless Auto, Stateless DHCPv6, DHCPv6 (Stateful). Stateless Auto: When connected to an IPv6 network utilizing ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol version 6) router discovery messages, IPv6 hosts will be
