Configuring Ipv6 Router Advertisements - D-Link DSR-500 User Manual

Unified Services Router
DHCP Mode: The IPv6 DHCP server is either stateless or stateful. If
stateless is selected an external IPv6 DHCP server is not required as the
IPv6 LAN hosts are auto-configured by this router. In this case the router
advertisement daemon (RADVD) must be configured on this device and
ICMPv6 router discovery messages are used by the host for auto-
configuration. There are no managed addresses to serve the LAN nodes. If
stateful is selected the IPv6 LAN host will rely on an external DHCPv6
server to provide required configuration settings
The domain name of the DHCPv6 server is an optional setting
Server Preference is used to indicate the preference level of this DHCP
server. DHCP advertise messages with the highest server preference value to
a LAN host are preferred over other DHCP server advertise messages. The
default is 255.
The DNS server details can be manually entered here (primary/secondary
options. An alternative is to allow the LAN DHCP client to receive the DNS
server details from the ISP directly. By selecting Use DNS proxy, this router
acts as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicate with the ISP's DNS
servers (a WAN configuration parameter).
Primary and Secondary DNS servers: If there are configured domain name
system (DNS) servers available on the LAN enter the IP addresses here.
Lease/Rebind time sets the duration of the DHCPv6 lease from this router to
the LAN client.
IPv6 Address Pools
This feature allows you to define the IPv6 delegation prefix for a range of IP
addresses to be served by the gateway's DHCPv6 server. Using a delegation prefix
you can automate the process of informing other networking equipment on the LAN
of DHCP information specific for the assigned prefix.

2.1.2 Configuring IPv6 Router Advertisements

Router Advertisements are analogous to IPv4 DHCP assignments for LAN clients, in
that the router will assign an IP address and supporting network information to
devices that are configured to accept such details. Router Advertisement is required
in an IPv6 network is required for stateless auto configuration of the IPv6 LAN. By
configuring the Router Advertisement Daemon on this router, the device will listen
on the LAN for router solicitations and respond to these LAN hosts with router
advisements.
