Configure ISATAP Automatic Tunneling

If your network is an IPv4 network or IPv6 network that consists of both IPv4 and IPv6
devices, you need to make sure that the IPv6 packets can travel over the IPv4 intranet by
enabling and configuring Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP)
tunneling.
ISATAP is a LAN tunnel mechanism in which the IPv4 network functions as a virtual IPv6
local link. Each IPv4 address is mapped to a link-local IPv6 address, that is, the IPv4 address
is used in the interface portion of the IPv6 address. ISATAP tunneling is used intra-site, that
is, between addresses in the LAN. For more information about link-local addresses, see
Manage the IPv6 LAN
Note: If you do not use a stateful DHCPv6 server in your LAN, you need to
configure the Router Advertisement Daemon (RADVD), and set up
ISATAP advertisement prefixes (which are referred to as
Global/Local/ISATAP prefixes) for ISATAP tunneling to function
correctly. For more information, see
page 73.
The wireless VPN firewall determines the link-local address by concatenating the IPv6
address with the 32 bits of the IPv4 host address:
• For a unique global address:
fe80:0000:0000:0000:0000:5efe (or fe80::5efe) is concatenated with the IPv4 address.
For example, fe80::5efe with 10.29.33.4 becomes fe80::5efe:10.29.33.4, or in
hexadecimal format, fe80::5efe:a1d:2104.
• For a private address:
fe80:0000:0000:0000:0200:5efe (or fe80::200:5efe) is concatenated with the IPv4
address. For example, fe80::200:5efe with 192.168.1.1 becomes
fe80::200:5efe:192.168.1.1, or in hexadecimal format, fe80::200:5efe:c0a8:101.

To configure an ISATAP tunnel:
1. Select Network Configuration > WAN Settings > ISATAP Tunnels. The ISATAP
Tunnels screen displays. (The following figure shows some examples.)
