  • Page 69: Ipv6 Autoconfig

    IPv6 Autoconfig The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID. There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto- configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server.
  • Page 70 DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
  • Page 71 Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration Stateless: Two methods can be carried. With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers.
  • Page 72 Stateful: two methods can be adopted. With only DHCPv6 enabled With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are assigned by DHCPv6 server. With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address information in RA packets will be neglected.

  • Page 73: Interface Grouping

    Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical L AN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not 1 1 1 1 1...

  • Page 78 but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers.

  • Page 79: Security

    Security Wireless security prevents unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless network. Note： The WPS feature will also be unavailable when the security setting is not WPA2 PSK or OPEN. So, if you manually set the wireless security setting, you should give notice to it, but you can find prompt indicating configuration.
