IPv4/ IPv6 Dual Stack Network
WLAN controller supports operating in an IPv6 networking environment. When IPv6 configuration option
is enabled, administrator may assign IPv4 IP address as well as IPv6 address to
either WAN1 or WAN2 of
the network interface. There are three ways to configure an IPv6 address for the chosen WAN interface,
namely Static, 6to4, and go6. Please select the option applicable to your environment.
Status: to enable or disable IPv6 support on the selected WAN interface.
Interface: to select the external interface of the device that will be configured with an IPv6 address.
Type: to select one of the IPv6 methodologies
-
Static: Manually enter all the related IPv6 information. Red asterisk are mandatory fields. Ideal if
your internet package comes with static IPv6 addresses issues by your ISP.
-
6to4: 6to4 is an Internet transition mechanism for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6, a system that
allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an IPv4 network (generally the IPv4 internet) without
the need to configure explicit tunnels. 6to4 option can only be chosen when the selected WAN
interface is set with a static IPv4 address.
-
Go6: Go6 is based on the provision of dedicated servers, called Tunnel Brokers, to automatically
manage tunnel requests from users. A set of Username and Password will be provided by the ISP
for authentication. The Username, Password and Server Address are the only mandatory fields
for go6 transition. The list of Tunnel Brokers is growing and administrators can choose to define
a specific Tunnel Broker by enabling "Assign Broker Address" and entering the Broker Address.
