Use a DHCPv6 Server to Configure an IPv6 Internet
Connection
The VPN firewall can autoconfigure its ISP settings through a DHCPv6 server by using either
stateless or stateful address autoconfiguration:
•
Stateless address autoconfiguration
. 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 a DHCPv6 server.
Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that is associated with
the WAN port. The IP address is formed by a combination of this prefix and the MAC
address of the WAN port. The IP address is a dynamic address.
As an option for stateless address autoconfiguration, the ISP’s
stateful
DHCPv6 server
can assign a prefix through prefix delegation. The VPN firewall’s own
stateless
DHCPv6
server can assign this prefix to its IPv6 LAN clients. For more information about prefix
delegation, see
Stateless DHCPv6 Server with Prefix Delegation
on page 79.
•
Stateful address autoconfiguration
. The VPN firewall obtains an interface address,
configuration information such as DNS server information, and other parameters from a
DHCPv6 server. The IP address is a dynamic address.
