Cisco RV180/RV180W Administration Guide
If you have an IPv6 network, see the following sections.
Configuring the IP Mode
To configure IPv6 properties on the Cisco RV180/RV180W, set the IP mode to
IPv6:
Choose Networking > IPv6 > IP Mode.
Click the IPv4 and IPv6 Dual-Stack radio button.
Click Save.
NOTE: The router reboots after changing the IP mode.
Configuring IPv6 WAN Settings
Configuring WAN properties for an IPv6 network differs depending on which type
of Internet connection you have. See the sections below for detailed instructions.
The Cisco RV180/RV180W can be configured to be a DHCPv6 client of the ISP for
this WAN or a static IPv6 address provided by the ISP can be assigned.
Configuring DHCPv6
When the ISP allows you to obtain the WAN IP settings via DHCP, you need to
provide details for the DHCPv6 client configuration.
Choose IPv6 > IPv6 WAN (Internet).
In the WAN (Internet) Address (IPv6) field, choose DHCPv6.
Choose if the DHCPv6 client on the gateway is stateless or stateful. If a stateful
client is selected, the gateway connects to the ISP's DHCPv6 server for a leased
address. For stateless DHCP, it is not necessary to have a DHCPv6 server
available at the ISP. Instead, an ICMPv6 discover message will originate from the
Cisco RV180/RV180W and is used for auto-configuration.
