Hi Folks, I finally started to fiddle with my router's IPv6 configuration. My ISP (Cox cable modem) advertises v6 compatibility, so things should work if all my stars line up, right? The router is a ZyXEL USG 20W, but I'm not using the Wifi radio portion. I click the /system/IPv6 "Enable IPv6" check box and it then enables v6 configuration options. Under /Network/Interface/Ethernet I now get options to configure the logical interfaces. (the USG 20W allows individual RJ45 Ethernet ports to be assigned to logical interfaces. I've got switches connected to the various ports to segment the lan appropriately.) IPv6 is disabled for all interfaces at this point. So I click on wan1 to edit it's config and am presented with these interesting options, among others: Yes/No: Enable SLACC V6 Address/Prefix Length (optional) Gateway (optional) Metric: 0-15 Address from DHCPv6 Delegation (add entries) DHCPv6: Server/Client/Relay Yes/No: Enable Router Advertisement Yes/No: Advertised Hosts get Network Config from DHCP6 Yes/No: Advertised Hosts get Other Config from DHCP6 MTU: 1480 default Router Preference: Low/Medium/High Advertised Prefix Table: Add IPv6 address/prefix length Advertised Prefix from DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (add entries) Egress bandwidth: for load balancing Ingress bandwidth: for load balancing LAN1, LAN2, and DMZ have similar configuration screens. Certainly not plug-and-play! I'm sure that many of the config choices have reasonable defaults, but above that I haven't the foggiest notion how to configure this, and also how to test the configs for proper security. I'm sure I could figure it all out, but at this point in time, why bother? Maybe sometime if I've got a long weekend when no one else is using the network I'll fiddle with it again.
