NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall FVS318G v2
DHCPv6
DHCP Status Specify the status of the DHCPv6 server:
• Disable DHCPv6 Server.
This is the default setting, and the DHCPv6 fields are
masked out.
• Enable t
he DHCPv6 Server. If you enable the server, you must complete the
DHCPv6 fields.
DHCP Mode Select one of the DH
CPv6 modes from the list:
• Stateless. The IPv6 clients generate their own IP address by
using a combination of locally available information and
router advertisements but receive DNS server information
from the DHCPv6 server. For stateless DHCPv6, you must
configure the RADVD and advertisement prefixes (see
Configure the IPv6 Router
Adve
rtisement Daemon and
Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on page 88). As an
option, you can enable prefix delegation (see the explanation
la
ter in this table).
• Stateful.
The IPv6 clients obtain an interface IP address,
configuration information such as DNS server information,
and other parameters from the DHCPv6 server. The IP
address is a dynamic address. You must add IPv6 address
pools to the List of IPv6 Address Pools table on the LAN
Setup screen (see IPv6 LAN Address Pools on
page 83).
Prefix Delegation If you selected the sta
teless DHCPv6 mode, you can select the
Prefix Delegation check box:
• Prefix delegation check box is selected.
The stateless
DHCPv6 server assigns prefixes to its IPv6 LAN clients.
Make sure that the Prefix Delegation check box on the ISP
Broadband Settings screen for IPv6 is also selected (see
Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet
Connection on p
age 40) to enable the VPN firewall to
acquire a prefix from the ISP through prefix delegation. In
this
configuration, a prefix is automatically added to the List
of Prefixes to Advertise table on the LAN RADVD screen for
IPv6 (see Configure the IPv6 Router Advertiseme
nt Daemon
and Advertisement Prefixes for the LAN on p
age 88).
• Prefix delegation check box is cleared.
Prefix delegation
is disabled in the LAN. This is the default setting.
