Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP
gave you.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see
Internet Connection
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the modem router uses, use the Auto Detect connection
type, which lets the modem router detect the IPv6 type that is in use (see
Internet Connection
•
If your Internet connection does not use pass-through, a fixed IP address, DHCP, 6rd, or PPPoE but is
IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the modem router autoconfigure its IPv6
connection (see Use Auto Config for an IPv6 Internet Connection
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through, the modem router
starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface.The modem router
creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not destined
to the modem router itself and the modem router does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet
is not in the connection record, the modem router blocks this packet.This function works in two modes: In
secured mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the modem router
inspects UDP packets only.
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons.You
can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a single zero or omit it.The following
errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
•
More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
•
More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
•
More than two colons in a row
