Configuration Difference Between IPv6 and IPv4 on Huawei ONT

For the bridging ONT, configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are the same. For the gateway ONT, the HSI service configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are different.

Configuring the IPv6 WAN Port on the Gateway ONT

For IPv6 IPTV multicast service, no extra configuration is required. For the IPv6 HSI service, the Internet WAN port on Huawei gateway ONT must be configured (only Internet WAN port supports IPv6). If the gateway ONT uses the IPv6/IPv4 DS scheme, select IPv4/IPv6 for Protocol Type. If the gateway ONT uses the DS-Lite scheme, select IPv6 for Protocol Type. For details, see Figure 1.

Configuring the IPv6 Address of the LAN Side on the Gateway ONT

The gateway ONT like HG8245H can be configured to allocate IPv6 addresses to the terminals after IPv6 is introduced. For details, see Figure 2.

Configuring the Static IPv6 Route on the Gateway ONT

The gateway ONT can be configured with the static IPv6 route after IPv6 is introduced. For details, see Figure 3.
