Assigned Type Select the appropriate type of assigning the IPv6 address according to your ISP.
DHCPv6: The DHCP server automatically assigns the IPv6 address and DNS
information to the clients.
SLAAC+Stateless DHCP: The DHCP server advertises the IPv6 prefix to the
client, the client then dynamically form a host identifier that is 64 bits long and will
be suffixed to the end of the advertised prefix to form an IPv6 address. Generally,
the host identifier was formed using the EUI-64. The DHCP server can also offer
the DNS information to the client when the client requests.
SLAAC+RDNSS: The DHCP server advertises the IPv6 prefix to the client, the
client then dynamically form a host identifier that is 64 bits long and will be
suffixed to the end of the advertised prefix to form an IPv6 address. Generally,
the host identifier was formed using the EUI-64. The DHCP server will also
automatically advertise the DNS information to the client.
Address Prefix Enter the LAN address prefix provided by your ISP.
Note: If the “Prefix Delegation” in WAN configuration is enabled, the LAN prefix will
be automatically assigned by the ISP, and you do not need to manually configure
it here.
Release Time The duration time in seconds when the assigned IPv6 address remains valid when
you choose the Assigned Type as DHCPv6. The default value is 86400 seconds .
Address Displays the IPv6 address of the LAN port.
8.2 Configuring the WAN

connection, providing link backup and expanding the bandwidth.
To complete WAN configuration, follow these steps:
1) Configure the number of WAN ports.
2) Configure the WAN connection.
