Through Auto Detect
• If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, a fixed IP address, or pass-through but is IPv6,
use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the modem router autoconfigure its IPv6 connection
(see Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Config
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through, the modem router
starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface. The modem router creates
connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not destined to the
modem router itself and the modem router does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet is not in
the connection record, the modem router blocks this packet. This function works in two modes: In secured
mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the modem router inspects
UDP packets only.
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons. You
can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a single zero or omit it. The following
errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
• More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
• More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
• More than two colons in a row
