Note

  • We recommend only enabling one of the following settings: IPv6 gateway address manual settings, IPv6 stateless address automatic settings, or DHCPv6 settings. If you do not want the IPv6 gateway address to be changed automatically, do not enable IPv6 gateway address manual settings, IPv6 stateless automatic settings, and DHCPv6 settings at the same time.

  • An IPv6 gateway address automatically acquired may be set by the router or in accordance with the DHCPv6 server settings if the following settings are enabled at the same time;

    • IPv6 gateway address manual settings and either IPv6 stateless address automatic settings or DHCPv6 settings

    • IPv6 stateless address automatic settings and DHCPv6 settings
