ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2
IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon for the DMZ
Hosts and routers in the DMZ use NDP to determine the link-layer addresses and related
information of neighbors in the DMZ that can forward packets on their behalf. The VPN
firewall periodically distributes router advertisements (RAs) throughout the DMZ to provide
such information to the hosts and routers in the DMZ. 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 must configure the prefixes that are
advertised in the DMZ RAs.
The following table provides an overview of how information is obtained in the DMZ when you
configure a stateless DHCPv6 server and the RADVD:

a. Both the DHCPv6 server and the RADVD can assign IP addresses.
When the Managed flag is set in the RADVD, the DHCPv6 server can assign IP addresses
and the RADVD also assigns IP addresses in the sense that it provides information that
allows IPv6 clients to configure their own IPv6 address.
When the Other flag is set, the DHCPv6 server does not assign IP addresses but provides
DNS server and other configuration information only.
Configure the IPv6 Router Advertisement Daemon for the DMZ
The following procedure describes how to configure the Router Advertisement Daemon
(RADVD) for the DMZ.

To configure the RADVD for the DMZ:
1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN
firewall during the installation process.
The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
3. In the Username field, type your user name and in the Password / Passcode field, type
your password.
