1 1 IPv6 configuration
If the attached network uses the IPv6 protocol, you can enable IPv6 support on the router. IPv6
functionality is disabled by default.
IPv6 includes two distinct address types, link-local unicast and global unicast. A link-local
address makes the router accessible over IPv6 for all devices attached to the local LAN. Traffic
using this kind of address cannot be passed by any router outside of the LAN. A link-local
address is easy to set up and is useful in small networks. However, to connect to a network
outside of the LAN, the router's WAN port must be configured with a global unicast address.
