IPv6 firewall settings
For ALL
On some router models, the IPv6 firewall lets you customize IPv6 port services
for applications. When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the router will allow those requests to the appropriate computers.
NoTE
To use your router’s IPv6 Internet connectino settings, IPv6 service
from your ISP (Internet service provider) is required. For more
information on this service, ask your ISP.
