• Auto Config. This is the default setting.
5. (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.
6. Specify IPv6 filtering.
When the connection type is not IPv6 Pass Through or Disabled, the router starts the
stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the W
AN interface. The router creates
connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. The router blocks this packet
when the inbound packet is not destined to the router itself and the router does not expect
to receive such a packet. The router also blocks this packet when the packet is not in the
connection record. This function has two modes.
Specify the mode by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• Secured. In the secured mode, which is the default mode, the router inspects both
TCP and UDP packets.
• Open. In the open mode, the router inspects UDP packets only
.
7. Click the Apply button.
IPv6 Pass Through
In pass-through mode, the router works as a Layer 2 Ethernet switch with two ports (LAN and
WAN Ethernet ports) for IPv6 packets. The router does not process any IPv6 header packets.
