    Set Up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection
    6rd protocol makes it possible to deploy IPv6 to sites using a service providers IPv4 network. 
    6rd uses the service provider’s own IPv6 address prefix. This limits the operational domain of 
    6rd to the service provider’s network and is under direct control of the service provider. The 
    IPv6 service provided is equivalent to native IPv6.
    The 6rd mechanism relies upon an algorithmic mapping between the IPv6 and IPv4 
    addresses that are assigned for use within the service provider’s network. This mapping 
    allows for automatic determination of IPv4 tunnel endpoints from IPv6 prefixes, allowing 
    stateless operation of 6rd.
    With a 6rd Tunnel configuration, the router follows the RFC5969 standard, supporting two 
    ways to establish a 6rd tunnel IPv6 WAN connection. 
    •Auto Mode. In IPv6 Auto Detect mode, when the router receives option 212 from the 
    DHCPv4 option, auto detect selects the IPv6 as 6rd Tunnel setting. The router uses the 
    6rd option information to establish the 6rd connection. 
    •Manual Mode. Select 6rd Tunnel. If the router receives option 212, the fields are 
    automatically completed. Otherwise, you must enter the 6rd settings. 
    To set up an IPv6 6rd Tunnel Internet Connection:
    1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the 
    network.
    2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.

    The IPv6 screen displays.
    5.  In the Internet Connection T
     ype list, select 6rd Tunnel.
    The router detects the service provider’s IPv4 network and attempts to establish an IPv6 
    6rd Tunnel connection. If the IPv4 network returns 6rd parameters to the rout\
    er the 
    screen adjusts to display the correct settings in the 6rd Configuration \
    section.
    6.  If necessary
     , manually change the fields in the 6rd Configuration section.

    Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Internet Connection
    The remote relay router is the router to which your router creates a 6to\
    4 tunnel. Make sure  that the IPv4 Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 t\
    unnel settings for the 
    IPv6 connection.
    To set up an IPv6 Internet connection by using a 6to4 tunnel:
    1.  Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connecte\
    d to the 
    network.
    2.  T
