PPPoE

If you use a DSL or cable modem to connect to the Internet, and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), you can enable PPPoE at Control Panel > Network > Network Interface and enter the account information to directly connect to the Internet without the router.

To obtain further PPPoE information, please contact your ISP or network administrator.

IPv6 Setup

Synology NAS devices support IPv4/IPv6 dual stack schemes. This means that both IPv4 and IPv6 can work simultaneously on your Synology NAS. The default settings for IPv6 is Auto. Select an existing network interface, click the Edit button, and go to the IPv6 tab to change settings.

Until IPv6 completely supplants IPv4, IPv6 transition mechanisms are needed to enable hosts with IPv4 addresses to reach IPv6 services. Choose among the different IPv6 transition mechanisms:

  • 6in4: Connect to the IPv6 network through a tunnel broker. You will need to fill in IPv6 address, Prefix length, Prefix, and Tunnel broker IPv4 address. This requires a public IPv4 address.
  • 6to4: Connect to the IPv6 network through a tunnel broker utilizing anycast. This requires a public IPv4 address.
  • DHCP-PD: Obtain an IPv6 prefix from the DHCP server via prefix delegation within the LAN. This requires ISP support and only works in router mode.
