ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N
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.
• En
able the DHCPv6 Server. If you enable the server, you need to complete the
DHCPv6 fields.
DHCP Mode Select one of the DHCPv6
modes from the drop-down lists:
• Stateless. The wireless 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 DHCP server.
• St
ateful. The wireless VPN firewall obtains an interface
address, configuration information such as DNS server
information, and other parameters from a DHCP server. The IP
address is a dynamic address.
Note: For stateful DHCP, you need to configure IPv6 address
p
ools (see the section following this table).
Domain Name Enter the domain name of the DHCP server.
Server Preference Enter the DHCP server preference value. The possible values
are 0–255, with 0 as the default setting.
This is an optional setting that specifies the server’s preference
value in a server advertise message. The client selects the
server with the highest preference value as the preferred server.
DNS Server Select one of the DNS server options from the drop-down lists:
• Us
e DNS Proxy. The wireless VPN firewall acts as a proxy for
all DNS requests and communicates with the ISP’s DNS
servers that you configured on the Broadband ISP Settings
(IPv6) screen (see Manually Configure an IPv6 Internet
Connection on p
age 34).
• Use DN
S from ISP. The wireless VPN firewall uses the ISP’s
DNS servers that you configured on the Broadband ISP
Settings (IPv6) screen (see Manually Configure an IPv6
Internet Connection on
page 34).
• Use be
low. When you select this option, the DNS server fields
become available for you to enter IP addresses.
Primary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the primary
DNS server.
Secondary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the secondary
DNS server.
Lease/Rebind Time Enter the period after which the DHCP lease is renewed with the
original DHCP server or rebound with another DHCP server to
extend the existing DHCP lease. The default period is
86400 seconds (24 hours).
