DHCPv6 server. For stateless DHCPv6, you need to configure the RADVD and advertisement prefixes (see Configure the IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon and Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on page 80).

Stateless DHCPv6 Server With Prefix Delegation

As an option for a stateless DHCPv6 server, you can enable prefix delegation. The ISP’s stateful DHCPv6 server assigns a prefix that is used by the wireless VPN firewall’s stateless DHCPv6 server to assign to its IPv6 LAN clients.

Prefix delegation functions in the following way:

1.The wireless VPN firewall’s DHCPv6 client requests prefix delegation from the ISP.

You need to select the Prefix Delegation check box on the ISP Broadband Settings screen for IPv6 (see Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet Connection on page 39).

2.The ISP allocates a prefix to the wireless VPN firewall.

This prefix is automatically added to the List of Prefixes to Advertise table on the LAN RADVD screen for IPv6 (see Configure the IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon and Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on page 80).

3.The stateless DHCPv6 server allocates the prefix to the IPv6 LAN clients through the RADVD. When prefix delegation is enabled, the RADVD advertises the following prefixes:

•The prefix that was added through prefix delegation.

•Prefixes that you manually added to the List of Prefixes to Advertise table on the RADVD screen.

You need to perform the following tasks:

•Select the Prefix Delegation check box on the LAN Setup screen for IPv6 (see Configure the IPv6 LAN on page 75).

•Configure the RADVD (see Configure the IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon and Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on page 80).

•Optionally, manually add prefixes to the List of Prefixes for Prefix Delegation table on the LAN Setup screen for IPv6 (see IPv6 LAN Prefixes for Prefix Delegation on page 79).

•Optionally, manually add prefixes to List of Prefixes to Advertise table on the RADVD screen (see Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on page 82).

Stateful DHCPv6 Server

The IPv6 clients in the LAN obtain an interface IP address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address. For stateful DHCPv6, you need to configure IPv6 address pools (see IPv6 LAN Address Pools on page 77).
