Set Up An Ipv6 6Rd Tunnel Internet Connection - NETGEAR R6400 User Manual

• 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.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home
network (the LAN).
10. (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.
11. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection

6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider's IPv4 network.
6rd uses the service provider's own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational domain of
6rd to the service provider's network and is under direct control of the service provider. The
IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
The 6rd mechanism relies upon an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4
addresses that are assigned for use within the service provider's network. This mapping
allows for automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing
stateless operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two
ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
• Auto Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from the
DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses the
6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection.
• Manual Mode. Select 6rd tunnel. If the router receives option 212, the fields are
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6.
