Viewing Network Status
Use the Networking > Network Status pages to view the traffic statistics, the
usage reports, the WAN bandwidth reports, all ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
entries, and DHCP address assignment. For descriptions of these status reports,
see
.
Configuring IPv4 or IPv6 Routing
Use the Networking > IPv4 or IPv6 Routing page to choose the IP routing mode for
your network. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a new IP protocol designed to
replace IPv4, the Internet protocol that is predominantly deployed and extensively
used throughout the world. IPv6 quadruples the number of network address bits
from 32 bits (in IPv4) to 128 bits, resulting in an exponentially larger address
space. You can configure the security appliance to support IPv6 addressing on the
WAN, LAN, and DMZ.
!
CAUTION
ISA500 currently supports limited IPv6 functionalities. ISA500 does not support
firewall, VPN, and other security services for IPv6 in this firmware. Enabling IPv6
can open up your network for security threats.
STEP 1
Click
IPv4 or IPv6
to enable both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, or click
IPv4 only
to
enable only IPv4 addressing. By default, only IPv4 addressing is supported.
STEP 2
Click
Save
to save your settings.
