LAN IPV6 on R2 vs Netgear LAN IPV6

[CRarsenxL]

I see the option to enable / disbale ipv6 on LAN.

 

however I don’t see that LAN IPV6 option for netgears running duma os. Are they enabled by default on there?

They have it under settings -> advanced.

IPv6 is disabled by default on XR routers, you can enable it in Settings > Advanced Settings

IPV6 LAN ? Not wan 

[Netduma Fraser]

You can only enable LAN IPv6 by enabling IPv6 overall on that page

Right. The IPV6 LAN feature is exclusive to the R2. 

 

I have IPV6 disabled on WAN but enabled for LAN. This allows for the Link-Local IPV6 to work properly, correct?

So how can we replicate that on the netgears? Obv I don’t want wan ipv6 enabled?

Not sure if it is possible but if your ISP doesn't support IPv6 then you could try auto config as it wouldn't be able to do it for the WAN but should allow for LAN

I’ve got Verizon. They use 6to4 tunnel. 

 

But the ipv6 Link local is what I’m really interested about. Not necessarily the WAN ipv6

I don't think there is a way to disable it for WAN only unfortunately

[Netduma Fraser]

I mean on the XR router specifically
