IPv6 Internet connection settings
IPv6 is a new IP protocol that uses simplified packet headers and requires IPSec.
It also has improved support for mobile IP and computing devices.
NOTE
To use your router’s IPv6 Internet connection settings, IPv6 service
from your ISP (Internet service provider) is required. For more
information on this service, ask your ISP.
To manually configure your router’s IPv6 settings:
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect an Ethernet port on your router to the
Ethernet port on your computer.
2.
Log into Cisco Connect Cloud. (See “How to configure your router” on
page 14.

addressing.
• DUID (device user ID)—Used by DHCP to identify network clients.

networks. To enable this option, IPv6-Automatic must be unselected.
To let your router handle the 6rd Tunnel settings (such as prefixes and
address masks), change the 6rd tunnel setting to Automatic. Select
