Requirements for Entering IP Addresses
To connect to the wireless VPN firewall, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP
address automatically from the wireless VPN firewall, either an IPv4 address through DHCP
or an IPv6 address through DHCPv6.
IPv4
The fourth octet of an IP address needs to be between 1 and 254 (both inclusive). This
requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on a screen of the web management
interface.
IPv6
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by
colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero
or altogether omitted.
The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
• Mor
e than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
• Mor
e than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
• Mor
e than two colons in a row
Internet and WAN Configuration Tasks
The tasks that are required to complete the Internet connection of your wireless VPN firewall
depend on whether you use an IPv4 connection or an IPv6 connection to your Internet
service provider (ISP).
Note: The wireless VPN firewall supports simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6
connections.
