LAN Settings (IPV6)
This screen configures LAN side support for IPV6. You can make changes to the Local
Area Network (LAN) configuration here. For changes to take effect, you must click Apply.
Note: You can optionally set up the system so that there is more than one LAN in the
network. This is most useful for commercial applications not home use. All of the "LAN Setup" and
"Wireless Setup" configuration parameters can be set independently for each individual LAN.
LAN Settings (IPV6):
IP Address (IPV6) – This field displays the IPV6 address of the LAN. An IPV6 address has
eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f). The groups are separated by colons (:)
e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334. A double colon (::) is shorthand for an
address of all zeros.
Prefix Length V6 – Length of the network portion of the IPV6 address.
Link Local Address (IPV6) – IPV6 address that can be used only on this network.
DHCP Server Settings (IPV6):
Enable DHCP Server (IPV6) – Click this checkbox to enable the use of a V6 Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server on the network.
DHCP is a set of rules used by devices such as a computer, router, or network adapter to
allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which maintains a list of
addresses available for use.
The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, e.g., no IP address is assigned to
a second device while the first device's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired).
