Netgear FVS318N Manual Do Utilizador

Hosts and routers in the LAN use NDP to determine the link-layer addresses and related 
information of neighbors in the LAN that can forward packets on their behalf. The wireless 
VPN firewall periodically distributes router advertisements (RAs) throughout the DMZ to 
provide such information to the hosts and routers in the DMZ. RAs include IPv6 addresses, 
types of prefixes, prefix addresses, prefix lifetimes, the maximum transmission unit (MTU), 
and so on. In addition to configuring the RADVD, you also need to configure the prefixes that 
are advertised in the DMZ RAs.

The following table provides an overview of how information is obtained in the DMZ when you 
have configured a stateless DHCPv6 server and the RADVD:

When the Managed flag is set in the RADVD, the DHCPv6 server can assign IP addresses, 
and the RADVD also assigns IP addresses in the sense that it provides information that 
allows IPv6 clients to configure their own IPv6 address.

When the Other flag is set, the DHCPv6 server does not assign IP addresses but provides 
DNS server and other configuration information only.
