LAN

On the LAN page, you can follow the steps to configure the LAN interfaces.

  1. Enter a Unique identifier for a device on the network (e.g.,192.168.1.1 or 2001:db8::1) in the IP Address field.
  2. Enter the network segment (e.g., 255.255.255.0 splits IP into network/host parts) in the Subnet Mask field .

  3. Select an IPv6 Link-Local Address Mode 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.

  4. Select an IPv6 DNS Mode 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.

  5. Select the Prefix Mode for the Router to obtain an IPv6 network address range.

    • WAN Connection: Automatic ISP assignment, common for home use.
    • Static: Manually set a fixed prefix, usually for business/lab networks.

  6. Enable IGMP Snooping to optimize multicast traffic for LAN ports (reduces unnecessary flooding).

  7. Enable LAN1~ LAN4 for multicast filtering.
  8. Click Apply Changes to save and activate the settings. It may briefly disconnect services.

Note

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