6.6 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the Device
features described in this chapter.
110
DESCRIPTION
Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 network prefix for the
Device's LAN interface.
Enter the IPv6 prefix that the Device uses to generate its LAN IPv6
address.
An IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (start
from the left) in the address compose the network address.
This field displays the bit number of the IPv6 subnet mask.
Select Enable to have the Device send router advertisement
messages to the LAN hosts.
Router advertisement is a response to a router solicitation or a
periodical multicast advertisement from a router to advertise its
presence and other parameters, such as IPv6 prefix and DNS
information.
Router solicitation is a request from a host to locate a router that can
act as the default router and forward packets.
Note: The LAN hosts neither generate global IPv6 addresses nor
communicate with other networks if you disable this feature.
Select this option to have the Device act as a DHCP server to assign
and pass DNS server information to its DHCP clients.
Select this option to activate MLD snooping on the Device. This allows
the Device to check MLD packets passing through it and learn the
multicast group membership. It helps reduce multicast traffic.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the Device.
