The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Preference This field displays the router preference (Low, Medium or High) the gateway
assigned to the GPON Device. The GPON Device sends this preference in the router
advertisements to tell hosts what preference they should use for the GPON Device.
This helps hosts to choose their default router especially when there are multiple IPv6
routers in the network.
Note: Make sure the hosts also support router preference to make this function work.
Prefix Enter the IPv6 prefix provided by your ISP.
Prefix Length Enter the bit number of the IPv6 subnet mask provided by your ISP.
Apply Click Apply to save the changes.
