N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3
Note: The default setting of the Connection Mode field is Always On to provide
a steady IPv6 connection. The modem router never terminates the connection.
If the connection is terminated, for example, when the modem is turned off, the
modem router attempts to reestablish the connection immediately after the
PPPoE connection becomes available again.
6. Specify how the modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home
network (the LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• Use DHCP Server.
This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some
IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
• Auto Config
. This is the default setting.
7. (Optional) Select the Use This Interface ID
check box, and specify the interface ID that you
want to be used for the IPv6 address of the modem router’s
LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the modem router generates one automatically from its
MAC address.
8. Specify the IPv6 filtering mode by selecting one of the following radio buttons:
• Secured. In the secured mode, which is the default mode, the modem router inspects
both TCP and UDP packets.
• Open
. In the open mode, the modem router inspects UDP packets only.
9. Click the Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
Traffic Meter
Traffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic that passes through the
modem router Internet port. With the traffic meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume,
set a monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage.
