Your changes are saved.

To verify the connection, click the Status option arrow in the upper right of the screen.

The Connection Status pop-up screen displays, which shows a static IP address 
configuration; the screen for PPPoE is similar.) 

The Connection Status screen shows a valid IP address and gateway, and you are 
connected to the Internet. If the configuration was not successful, see 

on page 389.

For more information about the Connection Status screen, see 

on page 373.

If your ISP requires MAC authentication and another MAC address was previously 
registered with your ISP, you must enter that address on the Broadband Advanced 
Options screen for the corresponding WAN interface (see 

on page 52).

DHCPv6 Option

From the DHCPv6 Option list, select one of the following DHCPv6 server 
options, 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 address by 
using  a  combination  of  locally  available  information  and  router 
advertisements but receives DNS server information from the ISP’s DHCPv6 
server. Router advertisements include a prefix that identifies the subnet that 
is  associated  with  the  WAN  port.  The  IP  address  is  formed  from  a 
combination  of  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’s 
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,  see 

on  page 79.

Primary DNS Server

If you selected Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options list, the IPv6 IP 
address of the ISP’s primary DNS server.

Secondary DNS Server If you selected Disable-DHCPv6 from the DHCPv6 Options list, the IPv6 IP 

address of the ISP’s secondary DNS server.
