Set Up Address Reservation; Configure Ipv6 Lan Settings - NETGEAR FVS318N Reference Manual

Set Up Address Reservation

When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC or device on the LAN (based on the MAC
address of the device), that PC or device always receives the same IP address each time it
accesses the wireless VPN firewall's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be
assigned to servers or access points that require permanent IP address settings. The
reserved IP address that you select needs to be outside of the DHCP server pool.
To reserve an IP address, select Reserved (DHCP Client) from the IP Address Type
drop-down list on the LAN Groups screen as described in
Database on page 61 or on the Edit Groups and Hosts screen as described in
Devices in the Network Database
Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the PC or
device contacts the wireless VPN firewall's DHCP server. Reboot
the PC or device, or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP
release and renew.

Configure IPv6 LAN Settings

An IPv6 LAN typically functions with link-local unicast addresses. Each physical interface
requires an IPv6 link-local address that is automatically derived from the MAC addresses of
the IPv4 interface and that is used for address configuration and neighbor discovery.
Traffic with link-local addresses is never forwarded by a router, that is, the traffic remains in
the LAN subnet and is processed over the default VLAN only. A link-local unicast address
always starts with FE80 (hexadecimal). To forward traffic from sources with a link-local
unicast address in the LAN, a DHCP server is required. For more information about link-local
unicast addresses, see

To configure the IPv6 LAN settings:
1. Select Network Configuration > LAN Settings > LAN Setup (IPv6). The LAN Setup
(IPv6) screen displays. (The following figure contains some examples.)
