Configure Ipv6 Settings; Configure The Ipv6 Routing Mode - NETGEAR FVS318N Reference Manual

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
Options and Other Tasks

Configure IPv6 Settings

Because IPv4-only devices cannot communicate with IPv6-only devices (or the other way
around) and IPv6 addresses are not yet very common, you need to specify if you want to
restrict the wireless VPN firewall to support devices with IPv4 addresses only, or enable the
wireless VPN firewall to support both devices with IPv4 addresses and devices with IPv6
addresses:
• IPv4-only mode. The wireless VPN firewall communicates only with devices that have
IPv4 addresses, even though the wireless VPN firewall itself can have an IPv6 WAN
address.
• IPv4/IPv6 mode. The wireless VPN firewall communicates with both devices that have
IPv4 addresses and devices that have IPv6 addresses. IPv4/IPv6 mode is an
IPv6-over-IPv4 mode in which IPv6 addresses are mapped to IPv4 addresses. You
should configure tunnels to carry IPv6 packets over the existing IPv4 infrastructure (see
Configure IPv6 Tunnels

Configure the IPv6 Routing Mode

Note: IPv6 always functions in classical routing mode between the WAN
interface and the LAN interfaces; NAT does not apply.

To configure the IPv6 routing mode:
1. Select Network Configuration > IPv6 > IP Mode. The IP Mode screen displays:
