LABEL DESCRIPTION
IPv6 Tunneling Select None to not allow IPv6 packets to cross IPv4 networks.
Select 6RD to enable 6RD. IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6RD) is an IPv6 transitioning
process for the stateless tunneling of IPv6 over IPv4. Enable 6RD to tunnel IPv6 traffic
from the local network through the ISP's IPv4 network.
Select 6to4 to transmit IPv6 packets over an IPv4 network. A 6to4 relay router is
required to route 6to4 packets to a native IPv6 network.
Select 6in4 if the EMG2926-Q10A has a public IPv4 address and you want to transmit
your IPv6 packets to one remote site only whose LAN network is also an IPv6 network.
You must know the WAN IP address of the remote gateway.
6RD
The EMG2926-Q10A generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels IPv6 traffic to the
ISP's Border Relay router to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The local network can also use IPv4 services.
The EMG2926-Q10A uses its configured IPv4 WAN IP to route IPv4 traffic to the IPv4 Internet.
This is only available when IPv4 Only is selected in the IPv6/IPv4 field.
Automatically Select this to have the EMG2926-Q10A detect the relay server's IP address
configured by automatically through DHCP.
DHCPC
Manually Configured Select this if you have the relay server's IPv4 address.
Border Relay IPv4 Enter the relay server's IPv4 address.
Address
Service Provider Enter an IPv6 prefix for tunneling IPv6 traffic to the ISP's Border Relay router and
IPv6 Prefix connecting to the native IPv6 Internet.
Service Provider Enter the IPv6 prefix length.
IPv6 Prefix length
An IPv6 prefix length specifies the number of most significant bits (starting from the
left) in the address that compose the network address.
IPv4 mask length Enter the IPv4 network's subnet mask number (1~32).
6to4
The EMG2926-Q10A should get a public IPv4 address for the WAN. The EMG2926-Q10A adds an IPv4 IP
header to an IPv6 packet when transmitting the packet to the Internet. In reverse, the EMG2926-Q10A
removes the IPv4 header from an IPv6 packet when receiving it from the Internet.
This is available only when IPv4 Only is selected in the IPv4/IPv6 field.
Relay Server IPv4 Enter the IPv4 address of a 6to4 relay server, which helps forward packets between
Address 6to4 networks and native IPv6 networks.
6in4
The EMG2926-Q10A encapsulates IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets as they travel through the Internet. You
must know the remote gateway device's WAN IP address. This mode is normally used for a site-to-site
applications, such as connecting two branch offices.
This is available only when IPv4 Only is selected in the IPv4/IPv6 field.
Remote IPv4 Enter the IPv4 address of the remote gateway to which this interface tunnels traffic.
Address
Remote IPv6 Enter the IPv6 address of the remote gateway to which this interface tunnels traffic.
Address
Local IPv6 Address Enter the IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
IPv6 Prefix Enter the IPv6 prefix for this interface if you want to use a static IP address.
