Set Up An Ipv6 6Rd Tunnel Internet Connection - NETGEAR Orbi User Manual

Most people can leave this field blank, but if your ISP gave you a specific host name,
enter it here.
7. (Optional) In the DHCP Domain Name (If Required) field, enter a domain name.
You can type the domain name of your IPv6 ISP. Do not enter the domain name for the
IPv4 ISP here. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, type xxx.yyy.zzz
as the domain name. If your ISP provided a domain name, type it in this field. For
example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and Comcast sometimes
supplies a domain name.
8. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
• Auto Config. This is the default setting.
9. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection

The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider's IPv4
network. 6rd uses the service provider's own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational
domain of 6rd to the service provider's network and is under direct control of the service
provider. The IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6. The 6rd mechanism relies
on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that are assigned for use
within the service provider's network. This mapping allows for automatic determination of
IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing stateless operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two
ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
• Auto Detect Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from
the DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses
the 6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
• Manual Mode. Select 6rd. If the router receives option 212, the fields are automatically
completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
