ipv6LanMode This option specifies the mode, or protocol, used by CDRouter to obtain IPv6 addresses on the LAN. CDRouter currently supports the following LAN-side IPv6 address acquisition modes:

* autoconf
* DHCP
* router
* none

If DHCP is chosen, the DHCPv6 address pool used by the DUT must also be configured. Note that when DHCPv6 is enabled, CDRouter will use DHCPv6 pool range to determine the validity of IPv6 addresses received by its DHCPv6 clients. CDRouter's DHCPv6 clients expect to receive an IPv6 address within the specified DHCPv6 pool range.

The router option is used in test scenarios where the DUT is not a gateway, or does not support address provisioning for LAN clients via autoconf or DHCP. In router mode CDRouter will automatically transmit Router Advertisements on the LAN and advertise a global IPv6 prefix based on the prefix portion of the testvar ipv6LanIp. CDRouter will also configure its primary LAN interface with an IPv6 address based on the Router Advertisements it sends. The most common test scenario for router mode is testing a standalone storage device.

Values: autoconf | DHCP | dhcp | router | none

Example:
testvar ipv6LanMode autoconf
