9. Select an IP Address Assignment radio button:
• Use DHCP Server. T
he modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your
home network (the LAN) through a DHCP server. This method passes more information
to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCPv6 client
function.
• Auto Config.
This is the default setting.
10. To specify the interface ID for the IPv6 address of the modem router’
s LAN interface, select
the Use This Interface ID check box, and enter the interface ID.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4
network. 6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational
domain of 6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service
provider. The IPv6 service that is provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
The 6rd mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses
that are assigned for use within the service provider’
s network. This mapping allows for
automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, enabling stateless
operation of 6rd.
To set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel connection:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
