Link Local Address Type
EUI64
Select this to have the GPON Device generate an interface ID for the LAN interface’s link-
local address using the EUI-64 format.
Manual
Select this to manually enter an interface ID for the LAN interface’s link-local address.
Lan Global Identifier Type
EUI64
Select this to have the GPON Device generate an interface ID using the EUI-64 format for its
global address.
Manual
Select this to manually enter an interface ID for the LAN interface’s global IPv6 address.
LAN IPv6 Prefix Setup
Delegate prefix
from WAN
Select this option to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the service provider
or an uplink router.
Static
Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the GPON Device’s LAN IPv6 address.
MLD Snooping Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) allows an IPv6 switch or router to discover the presence
of MLD hosts who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast
groups the hosts want to join on its network.
Active
Select Enable to activate MLD Snooping on the GPON Device. This allows the GPON Device
to check MLD packets passing through it and learn the multicast group membership. It helps
reduce multicast traffic.
LAN IPv6
Address Assign
Setup
Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:
• Stateless: The GPON Device uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router
Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the GPON Device send IPv6 prefix
information in router advertisements periodically and in response to router solicitations.
DHCPv6 server is disabled.
• Stateful: The GPON Device uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is
enabled to have the GPON Device act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to
DHCPv6 clients.
•
LAN IPv6 DNS
Assign Setup
Select how the GPON Device provide DNS server and domain name information to the
clients:
• From Router Advertisement: The GPON Device provides DNS information through
router advertisements.
• From DHCPv6 Server: The GPON Device provides DNS information through DHCPv6.
• From RA & DHCPv6 Server: The GPON Device provides DNS information through both
router advertisements and DHCPv6.
DHCPv6 Configuration
DHCPv6 Active
This shows the status of the DHCPv6. DHCPv6 Server displays if you configured the GPON
Device to act as a DHCPv6 server which assigns IPv6 addresses and/or DNS information to
clients.
IPv6 Router Advertisement State
RADVD Active
This shows whether RADVD is enabled or not.
IPv6 DNS Values
IPv6 DNS
Server 1-3
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns IPv6 DNS server information.
Select User-Defined if you have the IPv6 address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server
IPv6 addresses the GPON Device passes to the DHCP clients.
Select None if you do not want to configure IPv6 DNS servers.
