# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
and interface basis. The following options allow for this configuration.

# EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The typical home router scenario will want to forward both IPv4 and IPv6
|
|
|
|
|
packets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
iface WAN
|
|
|
|
|
use dhcp
|
|
|
|
|
forward-ipv4 yes
|
|
|
|
|
forward-ipv6 yes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
iface LAN
|
|
|
|
|
address 192.168.0.1/24

|
|
|
|
forward-ipv4 yes
