ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
With 6to4 tunnels, IPv6 packets are embedded within the IPv4 packet and then transported
over the IPv4 network. You do not need to specify remote tunnel endpoints, which are
automatically determined by relay routers on the Internet. You cannot use 6to4 tunnels for
traffic between IPv4-only devices and IPv6-only devices.
Note: If the wireless VPN firewall functions as the endpoint for 6to4
tunnels in your network, make sure that the wireless VPN firewall
has a static IPv4 address (see Manually Configure an IPv4 Internet
Connection on page 31). A dynamic IPv4 address can cause routing
problems on the 6to4 tunnels.
Note: If you do not use a stateful DHCPv6 server in your LAN, you need to
configure the Router Advertisement Daemon (RADVD), and set up
6to4 advertisement prefixes for 6to4 tunneling to function correctly.
For more information, see Manage the IPv6 LAN on page 70.
Typically, 6to4 tunnel addresses start with a 2002 prefix (decimal notification). On the
wireless VPN firewall, a 6to4 tunnel is indicated by sit0-WAN1 (see View the Tunnel Status
and IPv6 Addresses on page 45).
To enable 6to4 automatic tunneling:
1. Select Network Configuration > WAN Settings > 6 to 4 Tunneling.
Figure 21.
2. Select the Enable Automatic Tunneling check box.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.

If your network is an IPv4 network or IPv6 network that consists of both IPv4 and IPv6
devices, you need to make sure that the IPv6 packets can travel over the IPv4 intranet by
