Requirements for Entering IP Addresses

To connect to the wireless VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the wireless VPN firewall, either an IPv4 address through DHCP or an IPv6 address through DHCPv6, or both.

IPv4

The fourth octet of an IP address needs to be between 0 and 255 (both inclusive). This requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on a screen of the web management interface.

IPv6

IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero or altogether omitted.

The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:

•More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets

•More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet

•More than two colons in a row
