Chapter 6 Broadband
IPv6 Subnet Masking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided
into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each
character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block's 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal
characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.

DESCRIPTION
Click this button to create a new connection.
This is the index number of the entry.
This is the service name of the connection.
This shows whether it is an ATM, PTM, or Ethernet connection.
This shows whether the connection is in routing or bridge mode.
This is the method of encapsulation used by this connection.
This indicates the 802.1p priority level assigned to traffic sent through this connection. This
displays N/A when there is no priority level assigned.
This indicates the VLAN ID number assigned to traffic sent through this connection. This
displays N/A when there is no VLAN ID number assigned.
This shows whether the Device act as an IGMP proxy on this connection.
This shows whether NAT is activated or not for this connection.
This shows whether the Device use the WAN interface of this connection as the system
default gateway.
This shows whether IPv6 is activated or not for this connection. IPv6 is not available when
