Configuring a 6rd Tunnel Interface

A 6rd tunnel interface is configured in the same way as other IPv6 tunnel interfaces. A bound interface is required to configure a 6rd tunnel interface.

To configure a 6rd tunnel interface:
1
Go to the Network > Interfaces page.
2
Select the IPv6 option.

3
At the bottom of the Interface Settings panel, from the Add Interface menu, select Tunnel Interface. The Edit Interface for IPv6 dialog appears.
* 
NOTE: The Protocol tab is shown only when you select DHCP as the Configure Mode.

4
From the Zone menu, select WAN.
5
The Interface Type menu is disabled. It already has Tunnel Interface selected as it was selected from the Add Interface menu in Step 3.
6
From the Tunnel Type menu, select 6rd Tunnel Interface.
7
In the name box, enter a name for your tunnel interface.

For example, 6rd Tunnel.

8
In the Tunnel Interface IPv6 Address box, enter the IPv6 address of the tunnel interface.

For example, 2001::2.

9
In the Prefix Length box, enter the length for the IPv6 prefix. For example, 64.
10
From the Bound to menu, select the interface that you want, such as X1.
11
From the Configure Mode menu, select the mode you want: Manual or DHCP.
* 
NOTE: If you select Manual as the Configure Mode, do steps 12 through 15.

If you select DHCP as the Configure Mode, skip steps 12 through 15.

12
In the 6rd Prefix box, enter the 6rd prefix, such as 2222:2222:: (Manual mode only).
13
In the 6rd Prefix Length box, enter the length for the 6rd prefix, such as 32 (Manual mode only).
14
In the IPv4 Mask Length box, enter the length of the IPv4 subnet mask (Manual mode only).
15
In the BR IPv4 Address box, enter the IPv4 address of the 6rd border relay (Manual mode only).
16
(Optional) In the Comment box, enter a comment to describe the tunnel interface.
17
Select the Add Default Route Automatically option.

Select the Management options that you want, or select the User Login options that you want.
