To add a tunneled IPv6 block to your FireBrick (2500/2700) and advertise it on your LAN subnet do the following:
 
==Create a route:==
<syntaxhighlight>
<route ip="::/0" gateway="81.187.81.6" comment="IPv6 default route using IPv4 tunnel"/>
 
 
==Update your LAN subnet to include:==
*ra="true"
*ra-mtu="1480" (1472 if MTU was 1492 before, ege.g. over PPPoE)
*ra-dns="2001:8b0::2020 2001:8b0::2021"
*and add an IPv6 address from your block to the ip="" element.
 
The smaller MTU is required due to the IPv6 packets being placed inside IPv4 packets.
 
 
==Add a firewall rule to allow the tunnel in:==
You may need to allow the tunnel into your FireBrick with a rule such as:
<syntaxhighlight>
 
 
==Hurricane Electric tunnelbroker.net tunnel:==
It's also really easy to set up an IPv6 tunnel from http://tunnelbroker.net if you are using a FB2700 on an ISP which doesn't already support IPv6. If the details for your tunnel on your control panel say your server IPv4 address is 192.0.2.26 and your client IPv6 is 2001:DB8:ABCD:123E::2 then you would put the following in your config:
