DESCRIPTION
Select From ISP if the ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
GPON Device's WAN IP address) and you select Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.
Select UserDefined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have another
DNS server on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server
addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know
the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Select DHCP if you want to obtain an IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server.
The IP address assigned by a DHCPv6 server has priority over the IP address
automatically generated by the Device using the IPv6 prefix from an RA.
Select SLAAC (Stateless address autoconfiguration) to have the Device use the prefix
to automatically generate a unique IP address that does not need to be maintained by
a DHCP server.
Select Auto to have the Device indicate to hosts for IPv6 address generation
depending on the M/O (Managed/Other) flag values in the router advertisements
sending to hosts. You can configure the M/O flag settings in the IPv6 Router
Advertisement Setting section below.
This field displays the link-local address the GPON Device generated itself for the
WAN.
Enter the IPv6 address assigned by your ISP for this WAN.
Enter the address prefix length to specify how many most significant bits in an IPv6
address compose the network address.
Enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on
the same segment as your GPON Device's interface(s). The gateway helps forward
packets to their destinations.
Select From ISP if the ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
GPON Device's WAN IP address) and you select Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.
Select UserDefined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have another
DNS server on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS server
addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server, you must know
the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Select this option if you want to have the GPON Device use the IPv6 prefix from the
connected router's Router Advertisement (RA) to generate an IPv6 address.
Select this to have the GPON Device indicate to hosts to obtain network settings (such
as WAN IP, LAN prefix and DNS settings) through DHCPv6.
Clear this to have the GPON Device check O flag.
Select this to have the GPON Device indicate to hosts to obtain DNS information and
LAN prefix through DHCPv6.
Clear this to have the GPON Device not get information through DHCPv6.
