Configure the IPv6 Internet Connection and WAN Settings

The nature of your IPv6 network determines how you must configure the IPv6 Internet
connection:
• Native IPv6 network. Your network is a native IPv6 network if the VPN firewall uses an
IPv6 address and is connected to an IPv6 ISP and if your network consists of IPv6-only
devices.
• Isolated IPv6 network. If your network is an isolated IPv6 network that is not connected
to an IPv6 ISP, you must make sure that the IPv6 packets can travel over the IPv4
Internet backbone; you do this by enabling automatic 6to4 tunneling (see
Automatic Tunneling
• Mixed network with IPv4 and IPv6 devices. If your network is an IPv4 network that
consists of both IPv4 and IPv6 devices, you must make sure that the IPv6 packets can
travel over the IPv4 intranet; you do this by enabling and configuring ISATAP tunneling

(see
A network can be both an isolated IPv6 network and a mixed network with IPv4 and IPv6
devices.
After you configure the IPv6 routing mode, you must configure the WAN port with a global
unicast address to enable secure IPv6 Internet connections on your VPN firewall. A global
unicast address is a public and routable IPv6 WAN address that can be statically or
dynamically assigned. The web management interface offers two connection configuration
options:
• Automatic configuration of the network connection (see
Configure an IPv6 Internet Connection
• Manual configuration of the network connection (see
