NETGEAR Nighthawk RAX80 User Manual page 38

With a 6rd tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two ways
to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
• AutoDetectmode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from the
DHCPv4 option, autodetect selects the IPv6 as 6rd tunnel setting. The router uses the 6rd
option information to establish the 6rd connection.
• Manual mode. Select 6rd Tunnel. If the router receives option 212, the fields are
automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd Internet connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router
network.
2. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you
logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
3. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6. The IPv6 page displays.
4. From the Internet Connection Type menu, select 6rd. The page adjusts.
The router automatically detects the information in the following sections:
• 6rd (IPv6 Rapid Development) Configuration. The router detects the service provider's
IPv4 network and attempts to establish an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection. If the IPv4 network
returns 6rd parameters to the router, the page adjusts to display the correct settings in
this section.
• Router'sIPv6AddressonLAN. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the
router's LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix, which is
also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is acquired, the
field displays Not Available.
5. Select an IPv6 Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
• Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
• UseTheseDNSServers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select this
option. Enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
6. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices but some IPv6
systems might not support the DHCPv6 client function.
