NOTE: The default setting of the Connection Mode menu is Always On to
provide a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the connection.
If the connection is terminated - for example, when the modem is turned off
- the router attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the
PPPoE connection becomes available again.
7. Select an IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
•
Get Automatically from ISP: Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP automatically assigns this address. This option uses the DNS servers
assigned by the ISP for the IPv4 connection.
•
Use These DNS Servers: If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
8. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
•
Use DHCP Server: Use this method if devices on the LAN cannot receive an IPv6
address through auto configuration but must receive the IPv6 address through
a DHCP server.
•
Auto Config: This is the default setting.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN).
9. (Optional) Select the Enable RIPng check box.
This selection enables RIP Next Generation (RIPng) on IPv6 Internet connections.
RIPng is an extension of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that supports IPv6.
10. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID
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.
11. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
