Configure The Ipv6 Routing Mode - NETGEAR FVS318G Reference Manual

Configure the IPv6 Routing Mode

By default, the VPN firewall supports IPv4 only. To use IPv6, you must enable the VPN
firewall to support both devices with IPv4 addresses and devices with IPv6 addresses. The
routing mode does not include an IPv6-only option; however, you can still configure a native
IPv6 network if your ISP supports IPv6. These are the options:
• IPv4-only mode. The VPN firewall communicates only with devices that use IPv4
addresses.
• IPv4/IPv6 mode. The VPN firewall communicates with both devices that use IPv4
addresses and devices that use IPv6 addresses.
IPv6 always functions in classical routing mode between the WAN interface and the LAN
interfaces; NAT does not apply to IPv6.
To configure the IPv6 routing mode:

1. Log in to the unit:
a. In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter https://192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
b. In the Username field, enter admin and in the Password / Passcode field, enter
password.
Use lowercase letters. If you changed the password, enter your personalized
password. Leave the domain as it is (geardomain).
c. Click the Login button.
The Router Status screen displays. After five minutes of inactivity, which is the default
login time-out, you are automatically logged out.
2. Select Network Configuration > WAN Settings.
3. Select the IPv4 / IPv6 mode radio button.
By default, the IPv4 only mode radio button is selected, and IPv6 is disabled.
