Operation Manual

• 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.
9. (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 router’s LAN interface.
If you do not specify an ID here, the router generates one automatically from its MAC address.
10. Click the Apply button.

Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection
The 6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service provider’s IPv4 network. 6rd uses
the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix.This limits the operational domain of 6rd to the service
provider’s network and is under direct control of the service provider.The IPv6 service provided is equivalent
to native IPv6.The 6rd mechanism relies on an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses
that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping allows for automatic
determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing stateless operation of 6rd.
With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two ways to establish
a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection:
• Auto Detect Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from the DHCPv4
option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses the 6rd option information
to establish the 6rd connection.
• Manual Mode. Select 6rd. If the router receives option 212, the fields are automatically completed.
Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings.
To set up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet connection:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your Orbi network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > IPv6.
The IPv6 page displays.
5. In the Internet Connection Type menu, select 6rd.
The page adjusts.
The router automatically detects the information in the following sections:
