Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet
Connection
The VPN firewall can autoconfigure its ISP settings through a DHCPv6 server by using either
stateless or stateful address autoconfiguration:
• Stateless address autoconfiguration. The
VPN firewall generates its own IP address
by using a combination of locally available information and router advertisements, but
receives DNS server information from a DHCPv6 server.
Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that is associated
with
the WAN port. The IP address is formed by a combination of this prefix and the MAC
address of the WAN port. The IP address is a dynamic address.
As an option for stateless address autoconfiguration, the ISP’s st
a
teful DHCPv6 server
can assign a prefix through prefix delegation. The VPN firewall’s own stateless DHCPv6
server can assign this prefix to its IPv6 LAN clients. For more information about prefix
delegation, see Stateless DHCPv6 Server with Prefix Delegation on page
79.
• Stateful address autoconfiguration. Th
e VPN firewall obtains an interface address,
configuration information such as DNS server information, and other parameters from a
DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address.
To automatically configure the WAN port for an IPv6 connection to the Internet:
