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).
