ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Table 8. Broadband ISP Settings screen settings for a PPPoE IPv6 connection (continued)

Setting	Description
DHCPv6 Option	From the DHCPv6 Option drop-down list, select one of the following DHCPv6
	server options, as directed by your ISP:
	• Disable-DHCPv6. DHCPv6 is disabled. You need to specify the DNS servers in
	the Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server fields in order to receive
	an IP address from the ISP.
	• DHCPv6 StatelessMode. 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 the ISP’s 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.
	• DHCPv6 StatefulMode. The wireless VPN firewall obtains an interface
	address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other
	parameters from the ISP’s DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic
	address.
	• DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation. The wireless VPN firewall obtains a prefix from the
	ISP’s DHCPv6 server through prefix delegation, for example, 2001:db8:: /64.
	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.
Primary DNS Server	If you have selected the Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options drop-down
	list, the IPv6 IP address of the ISP’s primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS Server	If you have selected the Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options drop-down
	list, the IPv6 IP address of the ISP’s secondary DNS server.

5.Click Apply to save your changes.

6.To verify the connection, click the Status option arrow in the upper right of the screen to display the Connection Status pop-up screen (see Figure 22 on page 43, which shows a static IP address configuration; the screen for PPPoE is very similar.)

The Connection Status screen should show a valid IP address and gateway, and you are connected to the Internet. If the configuration was not successful, see Troubleshoot the ISP Connection on page 382.

Note: For more information about the Connection Status screen, see View

the WAN Port Status on page 367.

Note: If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has been previously registered with your ISP, then you need to enter that address on the Broadband Advanced Options screen for the corresponding WAN interface (see Configure Advanced WAN

Options and Other Tasks on page 50).
