Technical Support for Routers

Hello,

I'm very comfortable with IPV4 port fowarding but don't know how to with IPV6?

Is this router capable of it and if so how is it done please?

Thanks!

IPv6 doesn't require port forwarding, as the IPv6 addresses already are globally accessible without NAT.

Ok thanks.

How do I create a IPV6 firewall rule.

Example:

I want to access a local IPV6 address at port 1234

Thanks.

May I know if the ipv6 mode is NAT6 in the router/network, and the clients obtained the ipv6 global address (Beginning with 2)?

Allow outside access to your client's IPv6 address:

ip6tables -A INPUT -s <client's IPv6 address> -j ACCEPT

Allow outside access to your client's IPv6 address with TCP port:

ip6tables -A INPUT -p tcp -s <client's IPv6 address> -m tcp --dport 1234 -j ACCEPT

After rule configured:

/etc/init.d/firewall restart
