6.4 WAN SETUP – Static IP Connection Type (IPV6)
Note: This section does not apply to the Moxi Gateway or Touchstone Model 9xx
Gateways.
This screen enables a statically configured IPV6 stack. A static IP address connection type is less
common than others and uses a permanent IP address to connect to the Internet. If your
Internet Service Provider gives you an IP address that never changes, then use this option. For
changes to take effect, you must click the Apply button.
Static IP Settings (IPV6):
Enable Static IPV6 - Click this checkbox to enable a static IPV6 address connection for your
system.
IP Address V6– Enter the IPV6 address assigned by your ISP or static IP operation. An IPV6
address has eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f). The groups are separated by
colons (:) e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. A double colon (::) is shorthand for
an address of all zeros.
Prefix Length (IPV6) – The length of the network portion of this address.
