Select On to enable the use of unique local addresses. The router
will advertise the IPv6 /64 prefix to new devices on the network.
Randomly Generate – Randomly generates the unique local
addresses and the prefix.
Statically Configure – Enter a static IPv6 address for the router if
one has been assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Stateless – IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically
when connected to a routed IPv6 network using Internet Control
Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) router discovery messages.
This type of configuration is suitable for small organizations and
individuals. It allows each host to determine its address from the
contents of received user advertisements. It makes use of the IEEE
EUI-64 standard to define the network ID portion of the address..
Stateful – This configuration requires some human intervention as
it makes use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
(DHCPv6) for installation and administration of nodes over a network.
The DHCPv6 server maintains a list of nodes and the information
about their state to know the availability of each IP address from the
range specified by the network administrator.
