Defines how the device advertises itself as the default gateway or router.
The settings have the following functions:
- Auto: As long as a WAN connection exists, the router sends a positive router lifetime in the router advertisement messages. The result is that a client uses this router as the default gateway. If there is no WAN connection, the router sets the router lifetime to "0". A client then stops using this router as the default gateway. This behavior is compliant with RFC 6204.
- Always: The router lifetime is always positive—i. e. greater than "0"—irrespective of the WAN connection status.
- Never: The router lifetime is always "0".
