Netgear Netgar VPN FIrewall FVS336Gv2 Reference Manual

							Configure the IPv6 Internet and WAN Settings 
91  ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2
Note:If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address was 
previously registered with your ISP, you must configure that MAC address 
on the VPN firewall (see 
Change the Advertised MAC Address of the VPN 
Firewall on page 70) before you begin the following procedure.
To let the VPN firewall automatically configure a WAN interface for an IPv6 connection 
to the Internet:
1. On your computer, launch an Internet browser.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter the IP address that was assigned to the VPN 
firewall during the installation process.
The VPN firewall factory default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
The NETGEAR Configuration Manager Login screen displays.
3. In the Username field, type your user name and in the Password / Passcode field, type 
your password.
For the default administrative account, the default user name is admin and the default 
password is password.
4. If you changed the default domain or were assigned a domain, from the Domain menu, 
select the domain.
If you did not change the domain or were not assigned a domain, leave the menu 
selection at geardomain.
5. Click the Login button.
The Router Status screen displays.
6. Select Network Configuration > WAN Settings > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup screen displays the IPv4 settings.

92 ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2 
•Status. The status of the WAN interface (UP or DOWN).
•WAN IP. The IPv6 address of the WAN interface.
•Action. The Edit button provides access to the WAN IPv6 ISP Settings screen (see 
Step 8) for the corresponding WAN interface; the Status button provides access to 
the Connection Status screen (see Step 13) for the corresponding WAN interface.
8. In the IPv6 WAN Settings table, click the Edit button for the WAN interface for which you 
want to let the VPN firewall automatically configure the connection to the Internet.

ISP Settings screen as an example.
9. In the Internet Address section, from the IPv6 menu, select DHCPv6.
10. In the DHCPv6 section, select a radio button:
•Stateless Address Auto Configuration. 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 DHCPv6 server.
•Stateful Address Auto Configuration. The VPN firewall obtains an interface 
address, configuration information such as DNS server information, and other 
parameters from the ISP DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address.
11. If you selected the Stateless Address Auto Configuration radio button, you can select the 
Prefix Delegation check box as described below:  
						

							Configure the IPv6 Internet and WAN Settings 
93  ProSAFE Dual WAN Gigabit WAN SSL VPN Firewall FVS336Gv2
•Prefix delegation check box is selected. A prefix is assigned by the ISP 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 through the stateless 
DHCPv6 server in the LAN, see 
Manage a Stateless DHCPv6 Server with Prefix 
Delegation for the LAN on page 158.
•Prefix delegation check box is cleared. Prefix delegation is disabled. This is the 
default setting.

DHCPv6 Option From the DHCPv6 Option menu, select a DHCPv6 server option, as directed by 
your ISP:
• Disable-DHCPv6. DHCPv6 is disabled. 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 WAN 
address by using a combination of locally available information and router 
advertisements but receives DNS server information from the ISP DHCPv6 
server. Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that 
is associated with the WAN port. The IP address is formed by combining 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 Prefix Delegation. The VPN firewall obtains a prefix from the ISP 
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 to IPv6 LAN clients, 
see 
Manage a Stateless DHCPv6 Server with Prefix Delegation for the LAN 
on page 158.
Primary DNS Server If you selected Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options menu, the IPv6 IP 
address of the ISP primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS Server If you selected the Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options menu, the IPv6 
IP address of the ISP secondary DNS server.
