c. In the Service Name (If Required) field, enter a service name for the IPv6 PPPoE
ISP connection.
If your ISP did not provide a service name, leave this field blank.
NOTE: The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always On to
provide a steady IPv6 connection. The router never terminates the
connection. If the connection is terminated, for example, when the modem
is turned off, the router attempts to reestablish the connection immediately
after the PPPoE connection becomes available again.
7. 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.
• Use These DNS Servers: 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.
8. 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 DHCv6 client function.
• Auto Config: This is the default setting.
This setting specifies how the router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN).
9. (Optional) Select the Enable RIPng check box.
This selection enables RIP Next Generation (RIPng) on IPv6 Internet connections.
RIPng is an extension of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) that supports IPv6. You
might want to enable RIPng if you are an advanced user with a complex home network
configuration that requires dynamic routing.
10. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID check box and specify the interface ID
that you want to be used for the IPv6 address of the router's LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC
address.
11. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
