LAN

• IP Address: Unique identifier for a device on the network (e.g.,192.168.1.1 or 2001:db8::1).

• Subnet Mask: Defines the network segment (e.g., 255.255.255.0 splits IP into network/host parts).

• IPv6 Link-Local Address Mode: Select the method to obtain an addresses for local communication without DHCP.

- Auto: Automatically generate an IPv6 Link - Local Address for local communication.

- Static: Manually enter an IPv6 Link - Local Address for local communication.

• IPv6 DNS Mode: Select the method to assign the DNS servers.

- HGW Proxy: Select it if your ISP requires centralized DNS management or when you need IPv4 compatibility in an IPv6-only network. Avoid it if you prioritize direct DNS queries for privacy or per-device customization.

- WAN Connection: Select it if you want devices to bypass the router's proxy and directly use ISP-assigned or custom DNS servers (e.g.,for privacy or granular control). IPv6 DNS address(es) will be automatically assigned.

- Static: Select it if you need to manually specify custom DNS servers for enhanced privacy or performance. Then manually enter the provided IPv6 DNS1 (preferred) and IPv6 DNS2 (alternate) addresses.

• Prefix Mode : Select the method how the Router gets its IPv6 network address range.

- WAN Connection: Automatic ISP assignment, common for home use.

- Static: Manually set a fixed prefix, usually for business/lab networks.

• IGMP Snooping: Optimizes multicast traffic for LAN ports (reduces unnecessary flooding).

• LAN1~ LAN4: Toggle per-port multicast filtering.

• Apply Changes: Click to save and activate configuration. It may briefly disconnect services.

For enterprise networks, IPv6 settings often require ISP compatibility checks.
