LABEL DESCRIPTION

IPv6 LAN Setup

Link Local

Select Manual to manually enter a link local address. Select EUI64 to use the EUI-64

Address

format to generate a link local address from the Ethernet MAC address.

Type

 

 

 

IPv6

If you selected Manual in the Link Local Address Type field, enter the LAN IPv6

Address

address you want to assign to your AMG1312-T Series in hexadecimal notation, for

 

example, fe80::1 (factory default).

 

 

Prefix

Enter the address prefix to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6 address

 

compose the network address.

 

 

MLD

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the

Snooping

presence of MLD hosts who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of

 

multicast groups the hosts want to join on its network. Select Enabled to activate MLD

 

Snooping on the AMG1312-T Series. This allows the AMG1312-T Series to check MLD

 

packets passing through it and learn the multicast group membership. It helps reduce

 

multicast traffic.

 

 

Lan Global

Select Manual to manually enter a LAN Identifier as the interface ID to identify the LAN

Identifier

interface. The LAN Identifier is appended to the IPv6 address prefix to create the

Type

routable global IPv6 address. Select EUI64 to use the EUI-64 format to generate an

 

interface ID from the Ethernet MAC address.

 

 

Lan

If you selected Manual, enter the LAN Identifier in this field. The LAN identifier should

Identifier

be unique and 64 bits in hexadecimal form. Every 16 bit block should be separated by a

 

colon as in XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX where X is a hexadecimal character. Blocks of

 

zeros can be represented with double colons as in XXXX:XXXX::XXXX.

 

 

LAN IPv6 Address Setting

 

 

Delegate

Select this option to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the service

prefix from

provider or an uplink router.

WAN

 

 

 

Static

Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the AMG1312-T Series’s LAN

 

IPv6 address.

 

 

Static IPv6

If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 address prefix that the AMG1312-T

Address

Series uses for the LAN IPv6 address.

Prefix

 

 

 

Prefix

If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 prefix length that the AMG1312-T

length

Series uses to generate the LAN IPv6 address.

 

An IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (starting from the left) in

 

the address compose the network address. This field displays the bit number of the

 

IPv6 subnet mask.

 

 

Preferred

Enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.

Lifetime

 

 

 

Valid

Enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.
