IPv6

IPv6 support can be enabled on one of the available Ethernet WAN ports. On this screen,

you can choose which WAN will support IPv6.

To enable IPv6 support on a WAN, the WAN router must respond to stateless address

auto configuration advertisements and DHCPv6 requests. IPv6 clients on the LAN will

acquire their IPv6, gateway, and DNS server addresses from it. The device will also

acquire an IPv6 address for performing ping/traceroute checks and accepting Web Admin

accesses.
