IPv6 Internet Connections and IPv6 Addresses
The router can support an IPv6 Internet connection through the following connection
types:
•
Auto Detect. For information, see Use Auto Detect for an IPv6 Internet Connection
on page 31.
•
Auto Config. For information, see Use Auto Config for an IPv6 Internet Connection
on page 32.
•
6to4 tunnel. For information, see Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Internet Connection
on page 34.
•
Pass-through. For information, see Set Up an IPv6 Pass-Through Internet Connection
on page 35.
•
Fixed. For information, see Set Up a Fixed IPv6 Internet Connection on page 36.
•
DHCP. For information, see Set Up an IPv6 DHCP Internet Connection on page 37.
•
PPPoE. For information, see Set Up an IPv6 PPPoE Internet Connection on page 38.
Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions
that your IPv6 ISP gave you.
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see Set Up
an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Internet Connection on page 34).
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the router uses, use the Auto Detect
connection type, which lets the router detect the IPv6 type that is in use (see Use
Auto Detect for an IPv6 Internet Connection on page 31).
