Ipv6 Auto Config - NETGEAR N300 User Manual

The information in the following fields is automatically detected by the router:
• Connection Type. This field indicates the connection type that is detected.
• Router's IPv6 Address on WAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired
for the router's WAN (or Internet) 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.
• 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.
3. Specify how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the
LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
• Auto Config. This is the default setting.
4. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box, and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
5. Specify IPv6 filtering.
When the connection type is not IPv6 Pass Through or Disabled, the router starts the
stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface. The router creates
connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not
destined to the router itself and the router does not expect to receive such a packet, or
the packet is not in the connection record, the router blocks this packet. This function has
two modes.
Specify the mode by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• Secured. In the secured mode, which is the default mode, the router inspects both
TCP and UDP packets.
• Open. In the open mode, the router inspects UDP packets only.
6. Click the Apply button.
