Lan Global Identifier 
Type

Select Manual to manually enter a LAN Identifier as the interface ID to identify the 
LAN interface. The LAN Identifier is appended to the IPv6 address prefix to create the 
routable global IPv6 address. Select EUI64 to use the EUI-64 format to generate an 
interface ID from the Ethernet MAC address.

Lan Identifier

If you selected Manual, enter the LAN Identifier in this field. The LAN identifier should 
be unique and 64 bits in hexadecimal form. Every 16 bit block should be separated by 
a colon as in XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX where X is a hexadecimal character. Blocks of 
zeros can be represented with double colons as in XXXX:XXXX::XXXX. 

LAN IPv6 Address Setting

Delegate prefix from 
WAN

Select this option to automatically obtain an IPv6 network prefix from the service 
provider or an uplink router.

Static

Select this option to configure a fixed IPv6 address for the AMG1302/AMG1202-
TSeries’s LAN IPv6 address.

Static IPv6 Address 
Prefix

If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 address prefix that the AMG1302/
AMG1202-TSeries uses for the LAN IPv6 address.

Prefix length

If you select static IPv6 address, enter the IPv6 prefix length that the AMG1302/
AMG1202-TSeries uses to generate the LAN IPv6 address.

An IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (starting from the left) 
in the address compose the network address. This field displays the bit number of the 
IPv6 subnet mask.

Preferred Lifetime

Enter the preferred lifetime for the prefix.

Valid Lifetime

Enter the valid lifetime for the prefix.

RADVD Setup

Send RA on

Select this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries send router advertisement 
messages to the LAN hosts.

Router advertisement is a response to a router solicitation or a periodical multicast 
advertisement from a router to advertise its presence and other parameters, such as 
IPv6 prefix and DNS information.

Router solicitation is a request from a host to locate a router that can act as the 
default router and forward packets.

Note: The LAN hosts neither generate global IPv6 addresses nor communicate with 

other networks if you disable this feature.

Delegate M/O flag 
from WAN

Select this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries obtain the M/O (Managed/Other) 
flag setting from the service provider or uplink router.

Manual

Select this to specify the M/O flag setting manually.

Managed config flag 
on

Select this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries indicate to hosts to obtain network 
settings (such as prefix and DNS settings) through DHCPv6. 

Clear this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries indicate to hosts that DHCPv6 is 
not available and they should use the prefix in the router advertisement message.

Other config flag on

Select this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries indicate to hosts to obtain DNS 
information through DHCPv6.

Clear this to have the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries indicate to hosts that DNS 
information is not available in this network.

Advertisement 
interval option on

Select this to have the Router Advertisement messages the VDSL Router sends specify 
the allowed interval between Router Advertisement messages.

Hop limit

Enter the maximum number of network segments that a packet can cross before 
reaching the destination. When forwarding an IPv6 packet, IPv6 routers are required 
to decrease the Hop Limit by 1 and to discard the IPv6 packet when the Hop Limit is 0. 
Possible value for this field are 0-255.
