to all the interfaces identified by the address. The multicast address
types supersede the IPv4 broadcast addresses. They are prefixed with
FF (that is, the first bits are 11111111) such as FF02::1 for all nodes
address, FF02::2 for all routers address, etc.
‹ Anycast address: An identifier for a set of interfaces (typically
belonging to different nodes). A packet sent to this address is delivered
to only one interface identified by the address. This is the nearest
interface as identified by routing metrics.
Converting an MAC address (00-AA-00-3F-2A-1C) to EUI-64 format:
„
FF-FE is inserted between the third and fourth bytes. This yields
00-AA-00-FF-FE-3F-2A-1C.
„ The U/L bit, which is the seventh bit in the first byte, is complemented. The
first byte in binary form is 00000000. When the seventh bit is
complemented, it becomes 00000010 (0x02).
„ The result, 02-AA-00-FF-FE-3F-2A-1C, is converted to colon-hexadecimal
notation, yielding the interface identifier 2AA:FF:FE3F:2A1C. Thus, in this
example, the link-local address that corresponds to the network adapter
with the MAC address of 00-AA-00-3F-2A-1C is
FE80::2AA:FF:FE3F:2A1C.
MAC Address
„ Configure the MAC address accordingly.
Any IP Routing
„ When enabled, no network configuration (IP address, netmask, default
gateway, DNS settings, etc.) is required for users to access the Internet.
„ Saves the hassle of configuring network settings for both users and the
administrator.
1. For hoteliers (hotel, inn, B&B, etc.) to provide customers with Internet
service.
2. This feature is not intended for an office scenario. There could be an IP
conflict issue due to the same LAN IP address.
Any IP Routing is subject to and only configurable for LAN interfaces.
Ping / Tracert
„ When ticked, the network can be detected by ping/tracert command.
HTTP
„ When ticked, the management interface is available for access via HTTP
protocol.
