8.3 The Static DHCP Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on
their MAC Addresses.
MLD Mode Select Standard Mode to have the VMG forward IPv6 multicast packets to a port that joins
the IPv6 multicast group and broadcast unknown IPv6 multicast packets from the WAN to all
LAN ports.
Select Blocking Mode to have the VMG block all unknown IPv6 multicast packets from the
WAN.
LAN IPv6
Address Assign
Setup
Select how you want to obtain an IPv6 address:
• Stateless: The VMG uses IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration. RADVD (Router
Advertisement Daemon) is enabled to have the VMG send IPv6 prefix information in
router advertisements periodically and in response to router solicitations. DHCPv6 server
is disabled.
• Stateful: The VMG uses IPv6 stateful autoconfiguration. The DHCPv6 server is enabled
to have the VMG act as a DHCPv6 server and pass IPv6 addresses to DHCPv6 clients.
• Stateless and Stateful: The VMG uses both IPv6 stateless and stateful
autoconfiguration. The LAN IPv6 clients can obtain IPv6 addresses either through router
advertisements or through DHCPv6.
•
LAN IPv6 DNS
Assign Setup
Select how the VMG provide DNS server and domain name information to the clients:
• From Router Advertisement: The VMG provides DNS information through router
advertisements.
• From DHCPv6 Server: The VMG provides DNS information through DHCPv6.
• From RA & DHCPv6 Server: The VMG provides DNS information through both router
advertisements and DHCPv6.

DNS Query
Scenario
Select how the VMG handles clients’ DNS information requests.
• IPv4/IPv6 DNS Server: The VMG forwards the requests to both the IPv4 and IPv6
DNS servers and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
• IPv6 DNS Server Only: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
• IPv4 DNS Server Only: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
• IPv6 DNS Server First: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server first
and then the IPv4 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
• IPv4 DNS Server First: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server first
and then the IPv6 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
