    1Gbps. Pathway to the IPv6 future The BiPAC 8800NL R2 fully support IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack. Dual Stack means the router is capable of running IPv4 and IPv6. With Billion IPv6 enabled devices, three major transition mechanisms such as Dual-Stack, Dual-Stack Lite, and 6RD (IPv6 rapid deployment) are supported to be adapted easily into service provider’s IPv4/IPv6 network..
  • Page 6 single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and capability set.

    IPv6 Autoconfig The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID. There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful auto- configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server.
  • Page 64 DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.

    Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch.
