Expose IPv6 computer Zyxel7501-B0

hyinper

I have a Zyxel6501-B0 modem/router and a static IPv6 subnet. How can I assign an IPv6 to devices in my lan and have their IPv6 exposed to the internet?

Hello @hyinper

As I understand it, you have a couple of options:

1. Use prefix delegation and DHCPv6 in the AX7501-B0 to give your LAN subnet the IPv6 prefix that is in the same range as your ISP's assigned IPv6 prefix.
         - because there is no NAT66, and therefore your LAN devices have real public routable IPv6 addresses.

2. Add another device to your network, such as a Zyxel USG that can do Network Prefix Translation, in addition to the AX7501-B0 that you already have.
        - see https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/en-us/articles/4406707101202-USG-IPv6-How-to-setup-IPv6- and https://blogs.infoblox.com/ipv6-coe/you-thought-there-was-no-nat-for-ipv6-but-nat-still-exists/ for information.

I hope that this is helpful.

Kind regards,
