Setup DHCPv6 and/or Router Advertisements

To assign IPv6 addresses to clients automatically, setup Router Advertisements and/or DHCPv6.

A brief overview is as follows:

  • Navigate to Services > DHCPv6 Server/RA
  • Check Enable
  • Enter a range of IPv6 IP addresses inside the new LAN IPv6 subnet
  • Click Save.
  • Switch to the Router Advertisements tab
  • Set the Mode to Managed (DHCPv6 only) or Assisted (DHCPv6+SLAAC)
  • Click Save.

To assign IPv6 addresses to LAN systems manually, use the firewall’s LAN IPv6 address as the gateway with a proper matching prefix length, and pick addresses from within the LAN subnet.
