IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd)

In IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd), each ISP uses one of its own IPv6 prefixes instead of the special 2002::/16 prefix standardized for 6to4. Hence, a provider is guaranteed for its 6rd hosts availability from all native IPv6 hosts that can reach their IPv6 network.

To add IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd), enter the following information:

Procedure
    Step 1   Click the IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) tab.
    Step 2   Click Automatically from DHCP to use the DHCP (option 212) to obtain 6rd Prefix, Relay IPv4 Address, and IPv4 Mask Length.

    1. Enter the IPv4 Address of Relay .
    2. Enter the IPv4 Common Prefix Length.
    3. Enter the IPv6 Prefix/Length. The IPv6 network (subnetwork) is identified by the prefix. All hosts in the network have the identical initial bits for their IPv6 address. Enter the number of common initial bits in the network addresses. Default is 64.
    Step 4   Click Apply.
