DESCRIPTION
Select this to have the VDSL Router use IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration.
Start interface ID: specify the first IPv6 address in the pool of addresses that can
be assigned to DHCPv6 clients.
End interface ID: specify the last IPv6 address in the pool of addresses that can
be assigned to DHCPv6 clients.
Leased Time (hour): Specify for how many hours to assign an IPv6 address to a
DHCPv6 client before making it available for reassignment to other systems.
Select this to have the VDSL Router pass DNS server information to DHCPv6 clients.
Select this to have the VDSL Router 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 to send Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses (ULA) advertisement
messages to the LAN hosts.
Select this to automatically create a LAN IPv6 address prefix.
Select this to send a fixed LAN IPv6 address prefix.
Prefix: enter the IPv6 prefix and length the VDSL Router uses to generate the LAN
IPv6 address. The prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (starting
from the left) in the address compose the network address. This field displays the
bit number of the IPv6 subnet mask.
Preferred Life Time (hour): enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.
Valid Life Time (hour): enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.
Select this to have the VDSL Router check Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)
packets to learn the multicast group membership. This helps reduce multicast
traffic.
Select this to have the VDSL Router forward multicast packets to a port that joins
the multicast group and broadcast unknown multicast packets from the WAN to all
LAN ports.
Select this to have the VDSL Router block all unknown multicast packets from the
WAN.
