STEP 3 Choose the IPv6 Prefix Type:
• 6to4—6to4 is a system that allows IPv6 packets to be transmitted over an
IPv4 network. It is used when an end user wants to connect to the IPv6
Internet using their existing IPv4 connection
• Global/Local/ISATAP—By using ISATAP, you can integrate IPv6 traffic into a
IPv4 network environment. ISATAP uses a locally assigned IPv4 address to
create a 64-bit interface identifier for IPv6.
STEP 4 If you chose 6to4 in Step 3, enter the Site-level aggregation identifier (SLA ID.) The
SLA ID in the 6to4 address prefix is set to the interface ID of the interface on which
the advertisements are sent.
STEP 5 If you chose Global/Local/ISATAP in Step 3, enter the IPv6 prefix and prefix length.
The IPv6 prefix specifies the IPv6 network address. The prefix length variable is a
decimal value that indicates the number of contiguous, higher-order bits of the
address that make up the network portion of the address.
STEP 6 Enter the prefix lifetime, or the length of time during which the requesting router is
allowed to use the prefix.
STEP 7 Click Save.
