Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel 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 that is 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, enabling
stateless operation of 6rd.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
