LABEL DESCRIPTION
LAN IPv6 Mode Setup
IPv6 Active Select Enable to activate the IPv6 mode and configure IPv6 settings on the VMG.
Link Local Address Type
EUI64 Select this to have the VMG generate an interface ID for the LAN interface's link-local address
using the EUI-64 format.
Manual
Select this to manually enter an interface ID for the LAN interface's link-local address.
LAN Global Identifier Type
EUI64 Select this to have the VMG generate an interface ID using the EUI-64 format for its global
address.
Manual
Select this to manually enter an interface ID for the LAN interface's global IPv6 address.
LAN IPv6 Prefix Setup
Delegate prefix Select this option to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the service provider or an
from WAN uplink router.
Static Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the VMG's LAN IPv6 address.
MLD Snooping Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence of
MLD hosts who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the
hosts want to join on its network.
Active Select Enable to activate MLD Snooping on the VMG. This allows the VMG to check MLD
packets passing through it and learn the multicast group membership. It helps reduce multicast
traffic.
MLD Mode Select Standard Mode to forward multicast packets to a port that joins the multicast group and
broadcast unknown multicast packets from the WAN to all LAN ports.
Select Blocking Mode to block all unknown multicast packets from the WAN.
LAN IPv6 Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:
Address Assign
• Stateless: The VMG uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router Advertisement
Setup
Daemon) is enabled to have the VMG send IPv6 prefix information in router advertisements
periodically and in response to router solicitations. DHCPv6 server is disabled.
• Stateful: The VMG uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is enabled to have
the VMG act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to DHCPv6 clients.
LAN IPv6 DNS Select how the VMG provide DNS server and domain name information to the clients:
Assign Setup
• From Router Advertisement: The VMG provides DNS information through router
advertisements.
• From DHCPv6 Server: The VMG provides DNS information through DHCPv6.
• From RA & DHCPv6 Server: The VMG provides DNS information through both router
advertisements and DHCPv6.
DHCPv6 Configuration
DHCPv6 Active This shows the status of the DHCPv6. DHCPv6 Server displays if you configured the VMG to act as
a DHCPv6 server which assigns IPv6 addresses and/or DNS information to clients.
IPv6 Router Advertisement State
RADVD Active This shows whether RADVD is enabled or not.
IPv6 DNS Values
IPv6 DNS Server Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns IPv6 DNS server information.
1-3
Select User-Defined if you have the IPv6 address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server IPv6
addresses the VMG passes to the DHCP clients.
Select None if you do not want to configure IPv6 DNS servers.
