IPv6 Advertisement Prefixes Configuration on RV215W

Objectives

IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon (RADVD) broadcasts Router Advertisement messages and responds to Router Solicitations from clients that are trying to configure.

A network prefix is contained within these Router Advertisement messages, which is necessary for a client to automatically acquire IP addresses. Multiple prefix options can be contained inside a single Router Advertisement message.

This document explains how to configure advertisement prefixes on RV215W.

Applicable Devices

• RV215W

Software Version

IPv6 Advertisement Prefixes

Add Advertisement Prefixes

Step 1. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Networking > IPv6 > Advertisement Prefixes. The Advertisement Prefixes page opens:

Step 2. Click Add Row.

Step 3. Choose the desired prefix type from the IPv6 Prefix Type drop-down list. The available options are:

• 6to4 — Used to enable automatic IPv6 to IPv4 address translation on the router. It uses the 6to4 prefix.

• Global/Local — It allows the hosts that belong to the router to configure itself with global or local IPv6 addresses.

Step 4. If you choose 6to4 in Step 3, enter the Site-Level Aggregation Identifier (SLA ID) in the SLA ID field. The SLA ID specifies the interface on which the advertisements are sent.

Step 5. If you choose 6to4 in Step 3, enter the maximum time period for the router to use the prefix in the Prefix Lifetime field.

Step 6. If you choose Global/Local in Step 3, enter the IPv6 network address in the IPv6 Prefix field.

Step 7. If you choose Global/Local in Step 3, enter the decimal value that denotes the number of contiguous higher order bits in the network portion of the IPv6 address in the IPv6 Prefix Length field.

Step 8. If you choose Global/Local in Step 3, enter the maximum time period for the router to use the prefix in the Prefix Lifetime field.

Step 9. Click Save.
