Table 13. LAN Setup screen settings for IPv6

Setting	Description
IPv6 LAN Setup
IPv6 Address	Enter the LAN IPv6 address. The default address is FEC0::1.(For more information,
	see the introduction to this section, Manage the IPv6 LAN.)
IPv6 Prefix Length	Enter the IPv6 prefix length, for example, 10 or 64. The default prefix length is 64.
DHCPv6

DHCP Status

Specify the status of the DHCPv6 server:

•Disable DHCPv6 Server. This is the default setting, and the DHCPv6 fields are masked out.

•Enable the DHCPv6 Server. If you enable the server, you need to complete the DHCPv6 fields.

DHCP Mode	Select one of the DHCPv6 modes from the drop-down list:
	• Stateless. The IPv6 clients generate their own IP address by
	using a combination of locally available information and router
	advertisements, but receive DNS server information from the
	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). As an option, you can
	enable prefix delegation (see the explanation further down in
	this table).
	• Stateful. The IPv6 clients 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. You need to add IPv6 address pools to the
	List of IPv6 Address Pools table on the LAN Setup screen (see
	IPv6 LAN Address Pools on page 77).
Prefix Delegation	If you have selected the stateless DHCPv6 mode, you can select
	the Prefix Delegation check box:
	• Prefix delegation check box is selected. The stateless
	DHCPv6 server assigns prefixes to its IPv6 LAN clients. Make
	sure that the Prefix Delegation check box on the ISP
	Broadband Settings screen for IPv6 is also selected (see Use
	a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet Connection on
	page 39) to enable the wireless VPN firewall to acquire a prefix
	from the ISP through prefix delegation. In this configuration, a
	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).
	• Prefix delegation check box is cleared. Prefix delegation is
	disabled in the LAN. This is the default setting.
Domain Name	Enter the domain name of the DHCP server.
