ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2

Roadmap to Setting Up an IPv6 Internet Connection to Your ISP

Typically, the VPN firewall is installed as a network gateway to function as a combined LAN
switch and firewall to protect the network from incoming threats and provide secure
connections. To complement the firewall protection, NETGEAR recommends that you use a
gateway security appliance such as a NETGEAR ProSECURE STM appliance.
The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your VPN firewall depend
on whether you use an IPv4 connection, an IPv6 connection, or both to connect to your
Internet service provider (ISP). For information about setting up an IPv4 connection, see
Chapter 2, Configure the IPv4 Internet and WAN
Note: The VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
You can configure only one WAN interface for IPv6. You can
configure the other WAN interface for IPv4.
Setting up an IPv6 Internet connection to your ISP includes six tasks, four of which are
optional.

Complete these tasks:
1. Configure the IPv6 routing mode. Configure the VPN firewall to support both devices
with IPv4 addresses and devices with IPv6 addresses.
This task is described in
2. Configure the IPv6 Internet connection to your ISP. Connect to an ISP by configuring a
WAN interface.
You have three configuration options. These tasks are described in the following
sections:
• Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet Connection Automatically
page 90
• Manually Configure a Static IPv6 Internet Connection
• Manually Configure a PPPoE IPv6 Internet Connection
3. (Optional) Configure the IPv6 tunnels. Enable 6to4 tunnels and configure ISATAP
tunnels.
These tasks are described in the following sections:
• Manage 6to4 Automatic Tunneling
• Manage ISATAP Automatic Tunneling
4. (Optional) Configure Stateless IP/ICMP Translation (SIIT). Enable IPv6 devices that do
not have permanently assigned IPv4 addresses to communicate with IPv4-only devices.
