Description
From the DHCPv6 Option drop-down list, select one of the following DHCPv6
server options, as directed by your ISP:
• Disable-DHCPv6. DHCPv6 is disabled. You need to specify the DNS servers in
the Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server fields in order to receive
an IP address from the ISP.
• DHCPv6 StatelessMode. The wireless VPN firewall generates its own IP
address by using a combination of locally available information and router
advertisements, but receives DNS server information from the ISP's DHCPv6
server. Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that is
associated with the WAN port. The IP address is formed by combining this
prefix and the MAC address of the WAN port. The IP address is a dynamic
address.
• DHCPv6 StatefulMode. The wireless VPN firewall obtains an interface
address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other
parameters from the ISP's DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic
address.
• DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation. The wireless VPN firewall obtains a prefix from the
ISP's DHCPv6 server through prefix delegation, for example, 2001:db8:: /64.
The wireless VPN firewall's own stateless DHCPv6 server can assign this prefix
to its IPv6 LAN clients. For more information about prefix delegation, see
Stateless DHCPv6 Server With Prefix Delegation
