IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address
autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing
Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the
host identifier portion of an address to 64 bit
s to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the
host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).
Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4
(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a
fundamental interoperability requirement.
Virtual AP
A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a
single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be
an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example,
multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and
capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different
capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.
Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate
authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without
sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.
