The router automatically detects the information in the following sections:
6rd (IPv6 Rapid Development) Configuration. The router detects the service provider's IPv4
network and attempts to establish an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection. If the IPv4 network returns 6rd
parameters to the router, the page adjusts to display the correct settings in this section.
Router's IPv6 Address on LAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the router's
LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix, which is also indicated by
the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.

6rd Prefix. Enter the IPv6 prefix that your ISP gave you.
