Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks

The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your wireless VPN firewall
depend on whether you use an IPv4 connection or an IPv6 connection to your Internet
service provider (ISP).
Note: The wireless VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6
connections.

Tasks to Set Up an IPv4 Internet Connection to Your ISP

Complete these four tasks:
1. Configure the IPv4 WAN mode. Select either NAT or classical routing: see Configure
the IPv4 WAN Mode on page 27.
2. Configure the IPv4 Internet connection to your ISP. Connect to your ISP: See one of the
following sections:
•Let the Wireless VPN Firewall Automatically Detect and Configure an IPv4 Internet
Connection on page 28
•Manually Configure an IPv4 Internet Connection on page 31
You can also program the WAN traffic meter if you wish: see Enable the WAN Traffic
Meter on page 346.
