DHCPv6 Option From the DHCPv6 Option list, select one of the following DHCPv6 server
options, as directed by your ISP:
• Disable-DHCPv6. DHCPv6 is di
sabled. You must specify the DNS servers in
the Primary DNS Server and Secondary DNS Server fields to receive an IP
address from the ISP.
• DHCPv6
StatelessMode. 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 the ISP’s DHCPv6
server. Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that
is associated with the WAN port. The IP address is formed from a
combination of this prefix and the MAC address of the WAN port. The IP
address is a dynamic address.
• DHCPv6
StatefulMode. The VPN firewall obtains an interface address,
configuration information such as DNS server information, and other
parameters from the ISP’s DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic
address.
• DHCPv6
Pre
fix Delegation. The VPN firewall obtains a prefix from the ISP’s
DHCPv6 server through prefix delegation, for example, 2001:db8::/64. 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.
Primary DNS Server If you selected Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options list, the IPv6 IP
address of the ISP’s primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS Server If you selected Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options list, the IPv6 IP
address of the ISP’s secondary DNS server.
