The configuration of the LAN network is primarily the configuration of the IP parameters :
- Prefix : The prefix is the network wide prefix, all address sharing this prefix are considered on-link.
- Prefix length : Significant bits of the prefix, should be 64 in most configuration.
- Address autoconfiguration : If enabled, the 6LBR address on the LAN network will be created by combining the Prefix and the LAN IID (i.e. the converted MAC-64 address). If disabled, the manual address is used.
- Manual address : The 6LBR address on the LAN network if address auto configuration is disabled.
- Peer router : Address of the Peer Router (or Default Router, or Gateway) of the LAN Network. All the non-routable packets are forwarded to it. Set to Unspecified Address (::) to disable. This address should preferably be a link-local address.
In addition, if 6LBR is running in Router mode, the RA Daemon can be used to auto configure the network.
