NETGEAR Orbi RBE970 User Manual

Manage an IPv6 Internet connection
The router supports many different types of IPv6 Internet connections for which you can
specify the settings manually.
Types of IPv6 Internet connections
The router can support an IPv6 Internet connection through the following connection
types:
•
Auto Detect: See Use auto detection for an IPv6 Internet connection on page 38.
•
Auto Config: See Use auto configuration for an IPv6 Internet connection on page
39.
•
6to4 tunnel: See Set up an IPv6 6to4 tunnel Internet connection on page 41.
•
Pass-through: See Set up an IPv6 pass-through Internet connection on page 43.
•
Fixed: See Set up an IPv6 fixed Internet connection on page 43.
•
DHCP: See Set up an IPv6 DHCP Internet connection on page 45.
•
PPPoE: See Set up an IPv6 PPPoE Internet connection on page 47.
•
6rd: See Set up an IPv6 6rd tunnel Internet connection on page 49.
Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions
that your IPv6 ISP gave you.
•
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the router uses, use the Auto Detect
connection type, which lets the router detect the IPv6 type that is in use (see Use
auto detection for an IPv6 Internet connection on page 38).
•
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see Set up
an IPv6 6to4 tunnel Internet connection on page 41).
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through,
the router starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface.
The router creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the
router does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet is not in the connection
record, the router blocks this packet.
