automatically from the VPN firewall, either an IPv4 address through DHCP or an IPv6
address through DHCPv6, or both.
IPv4
The fourth octet of an IP address needs to be between 0 and 255 (both inclusive). This
requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on a screen of the web management
interface.

colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero
or altogether omitted.
