Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection

The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider's IPv4 network. 6rd
uses the service provider's own IPv6 address prefix.This limits the operational domain of 6rd to the
service provider's network and is under direct control of the service provider.The IPv6 service that is
provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
The 6rd mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses that are
assigned for use within the service provider's network.This mapping allows for automatic determination of
IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, enabling stateless operation of 6rd.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile
device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter routerlogin. A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password.The user name and password are case-
sensitive.
