DYNAMIC IPV6 CONFIGURATION METHOD FOR HOME GATEWAY

摘要

Disclosed is a dynamic IPv6 configuration method for a home gateway, comprising the steps of: establishing a WAN connection with an Internet attribute routing mode, and according to the dynamic combination of PPPoE dialing options i.e. "obtaining an address" and "obtaining a prefix", determining an IPv6 configuration manner of a home gateway using a PPPoE dialing manner; and starting up a dialing process, establishing an interface of the dialing process, the dialing process invoking an executable script ipv6-up, generating a corresponding request according to the IPv6 configuration manner of the home gateway, starting up a DHCPv6 client in the gateway, and combining a stateful auto-configuration with a stateless auto-configuration, and achieving the dynamic IPv6 configuration of the home gateway. By selecting the 'obtaining an address', the home gateway can obtain the IPv6 global unicast address of a network interface at the WAN side, and access an IPv6 network. By selecting the 'obtaining an address' and the 'obtaining a prefix', home gateway users can obtain the IPv6 global unicast address, and access IPv6 network resources.
