Static IPv6

IPv6 address: Enter the IPv6 address here; IPv6 addresses have a size of 128 bits.

Therefore, IPv6 has a vastly enlarged address space compared to IPv4. An example

of an IPv6 address is “2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334”

Prefix Length: enter the Prefix length of the Subnet Mask here; The subnet mask was

the forerunner of the modern IP address prefix length. For example a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0 conveys exactly the same information as a prefix length of /24, a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.240 is equivalent to a prefix length of /28.

Gateway Global IP Address: Enter the Default Gateway address here; A default

gateway is the node on the computer network that the network software uses when an

IP address does not match any other routes in the routing table.

automatically or use following DNS address. You may add IPv6 address Primary DNS

address and secondary DNS address.

traffic from passing through the device.
