Configure the Router Advertisement Daemon and
Advertisement Prefixes
When you configure stateful or stateless DHCPv6 (see the previous section), you also need
to configure the Router Advertisement Deamon (RADVD) so that link-local advertisements of
the wireless VPN firewall's IPv6 addresses and IPv6 prefixes can be automatically distributed
through the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP).
If you have configured stateful DHCPv6, the RADVD provides IP addresses, including the
address for the gateway; the DHCP server provides DNS server information only. If you have
configured stateless DHCPv6, both the RADVD and the DHCP server provide IP addresses,
including the address for the gateway, and the DHCP server provides also DNS server
information.
Hosts and routers on the LAN use NDP to determine the link-layer addresses and related
information of neighbors on the LAN that can forward packets on their behalf. The wireless
VPN firewall periodically distributes router advertisements (RAs) throughout the LAN to
provide such information to the hosts and routers on the LAN. RAs include IPv6 addresses,
types of prefixes, prefix addresses, prefix lifetimes, the maximum transmission unit (MTU),
and so on. In addition to configuring the RADVD, you also need to configure the prefixes that
are advertised in the RAs.
