How to enable IPv6 on Mac?

Question

I'm using Yosemite 10.10.3

Wi-Fi BUFFALO

Going to [http://test-ipv6.com/][1] shows me that "No IPv6 address detected"

enter image description here

Right now its on "Automatically"

enter image description here

If I change it to "Manual" - what should I write there? what IPv6 address and Prefix?

+++UPDATE+++

Thanks to @Ramhound I check my ISP and I changed some settings here:

And I get this:

So it looks like I have IPv6 now, but still getting message "No IPv6 address detected" on this site http://test-ipv6.com/

+++UPDATE2+++

If you are going to set it to Manual, you have to configure what the address will be, we can't tell you that. Are you 100% your ISP even assigns you a IPv6 address? Based on your screenshots it does not even look like you have a router that is attempting to assign a IPv6 address. — Ramhound, Commented Jun 15, 2015 at 13:14
@Ramhound thank you for your response. Probably, you're right, I'll ask them. — whitesiroi, Commented Jun 15, 2015 at 13:39
Your router was assigned an IPv6 address. That does not mean it supports assigning IPv6 addresses itself. — Ramhound, Commented Jun 15, 2015 at 14:17
@Ramhound sorry, I'm a nub at this, what should I check? My router doesn't support IPv6? thank you ) — whitesiroi, Commented Jun 15, 2015 at 14:29

You may need to do a manual configuration.

Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
Click the Network icon in the System Preferences window.
Choose the network service you want to use with IPv6, such as Ethernet or AirPort.
Click Advanced, then click TCP/IP.
Choose "Manually" from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.

enter your IPv6 address, router address, and prefix length,If you don't know these, contact your ISP
