Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet Connection
The wireless VPN firewall can autoconfigure its ISP settings through a DHCPv6 server by
using either stateless or stateful address autoconfiguration:
•Stateless address autoconfiguration. The wireless VPN firewall generates its own IP
address by using a combination of locally available information and router
advertisements, but receives DNS server information from a DHCPv6 server.
Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that is associated with
the WAN port. The IP address is formed by combining this prefix and the MAC address of
the WAN port. The IP address is a dynamic address.
•Stateful address autoconfiguration. The wireless VPN firewall obtains an interface
address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other
parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address.
