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.

As an option for stateless address autoconfiguration, the ISP’s stateful DHCPv6 server can assign a prefix through prefix delegation. The wireless VPN firewall’s own stateless DHCPv6 server can assign this prefix to its IPv6 LAN clients. For more information about prefix delegation, see Stateless DHCPv6 Server With Prefix Delegation on page 74.
