Manage The Ipv6 Routing Mode - NETGEAR ProSafe FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual

ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2
After you configured the IPv6 routing mode, you must configure a WAN interface 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 Automatically
• Manual configuration of the network connection (see
Internet Connection
Connection on page 97)

Manage the IPv6 Routing Mode

By default, the VPN firewall does not support the IPv6 mode. You must enable the IPv6
routing mode.
The following sections provide information about managing the IPv6 routing mode:
• IPv6 Routing Mode
• Enable the IPv6 Routing Mode
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.
The options are as follows:
• IPv4-only mode. The VPN firewall communicates only with devices that have IPv4
addresses.
• IPv4/IPv6 mode. The VPN firewall communicates with both devices that have IPv4
addresses and devices that have IPv6 addresses.
Load balancing and IPv4/IPv6 mode are mutually exclusive. You can select IPv4/IPv6
mode only when one interface functions in primary WAN mode.
Note: IPv6 always functions in classical routing mode between the WAN
interface and the LAN interfaces; NAT does not apply to IPv6.
