Note
An IPv6 address pool is created by assigning an IPv6 Link Prefix (a subnet with a
length of /64) to an DHCPv6 option set. The definition of a separate set of IP ad-
dresses like, e.g. fc00:1:2:3::1..fc00:1:2:3::100, is - in contrast with IPv4 - not specified
for IPv6.
The following requirements must be met for the configuration of an IPV6 address pool:
(a) IPv6 has to be activated for the respective interface.
(b) An IPv6 Link Prefix (subnet) with a length of /64 has to be configured for the respective
interface. An IPv6 link prefix can be defined in either of two ways:
• The IPv6 Link Prefix is derived from a General IPv6 Prefix (a prefix with a length of,
e.g., /56 or /48). In this case, the General IPv6 Prefix has to be configured in the
menu Networking->IPv6 General Prefixes->General Prefix Configuration .
• The IPv6 Link Prefix with a length of /64 is manually configured for the respective in-
terface and is not derived from a General IPv6 Prefix.
(c) The DHCP Server option has to be enabled for the interface.
Moreover, the following settings are recommended:
• The options Preferred Lifetime and Valid Lifetime should be set to values higher than
the value configured for the option Router Lifetime.
With a Router Lifetime of 600 seconds a Preferred Lifetime of, e.g., 900 seconds and a
Valid Lifetime of 1800 seconds are reasonable settings.
• The option DHCP Mode should be enabled.
In order to make the settings mentioned above, go to the menu LAN->IP
Configuration->Interfaces. Choose the intended interface with the icon. Activate IPv6
and set the IPv6 Mode to A * A 3!. In the field
IPv6-Adressen, click Hinzufügen and configure the Link Prefix. Confirm your configuration
with Accept. The configuration of the recommended settings s then carried out in the fol-
lowing menus:
• Router Lifetime: LAN->IP Configuration->Interfaces->New->Advanced
Settings->Advanced IPv6 Settings
• Preferred Lifetime and Valid Lifetime: LAN->IP
Configuration->Interfaces->New->Basic IPv6 Parameters->Add->Advanced
