NETGEAR C6250 User Manual page 89

In the previous figure shows, the System Delegated Prefix field shows an IPv6 address
and prefix that were delegated by the cable Internet provider.
Note: If the modem router does not obtain an IPv6 address, all options onscreen
are masked out.
6. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server. The modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN) through a DHCP server. This method passes more information
to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client
function.
• Auto Config. The modem router configures the IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network automatically. This is the default setting.
7. To disable the IPv6 firewall protection, select the Disable IPv6 Firewall Protection check
box.
IPv6 firewall protection can secure your network against malicious packets and is
enabled by default. NETGEAR recommends that you leave the firewall enabled to protect
your network.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
