IPv6 in IPv4 tunnels

The router allows you to quickly organize access to the IPv6 Internet via a connection to a provider with classic IPv4 (6to4).

Important

The requirement for this connection to work is the availability of a public IP address from the provider (it does not matter whether it is static or dynamic).

This tunnel can only work through the primary Internet connection on the router (the one with the highest priority). For example, if your primary connection has a private address and your backup connection has a public address, it will be impossible to configure the tunnel.

Go to the IPv4 to IPv6 converter website, for example, https://www.whatsmydns.net/ipv4-to-ipv6. Enter your external public IP address (in our example, it is 193.1.1.1) and click Convert:

We will need information from the 6to4 notation block.

Go to the router's web interface and create a connection on the Other Connections в разделе IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnels.

In the settings window, add the value from the 6to4 notation field to the IPv6 address and IPv6 prefix fields. For example:

ipv6-in-ipv4-03-en.png

In the IPv6 address, after the double colon, add 2 to the address obtained from the 6to4 notation field. Starting with '1' is not recommended, as it does not work in most cases. You can also generate an address from the prefix and MAC address manually using the EUI-64 mechanism. For example, in the IPv6 prefix field, after the double colon, add /48, since, according to the 6to4 implementation concept, each IPv4 address corresponds to a /48 IPv6 prefix.

Restart the router and then make sure that Internet access via the IPv6 protocol is available.
