Step 7 (Optional)

Enabling IPv6 Support

Important! This is an advanced and optional step that only works with the current configuration of the

campus network. If you don't need IPv6 support on your own wireless router, it is not necessary to enable

it. If, at any point in the future, IPv6 support via this step stops working, SNT will probably release an

update manual explaining the new steps you need to take. By using your wireless router to host your own

small network, you are using so called internal IPv4 addresses. These can be re-used in other networks

and are therefore not 'running out' as explained in the next paragraph.

IPv4 is currently the standard addressing and routing protocol on the internet. However, you may have

heard that 'IPv4 addresses are running out'. Because of this, the internet is slowly switching to a newer

addressing and routing protocol, called IPv6. The campus network supports IPv6 and IPv4 natively, side-

by-side.

If you wish to add IPv6 support to your wireless network, select IPv6 from the left menu, and change the

Connection type to Passthrough. Click Apply to save your changes. You may need to reboot connected

devices afterwards
