This topic provides the planning information required for Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) DirectAccess client configuration and deployment.

Overview
The Forefront UAG DirectAccess server must be reachable from:
- The IPv6 Internet and IPv6 intranet─Your
organization has deployed native IPv6 connectivity and the
Forefront UAG DirectAccess server is connected to the IPv6 Internet
through an IPv6-capable ISP.
- Internal IPv4 resources and IPv6
resources
Network configuration and address requirements for each scenario are summarized in the following table:
Requirements
Adapter and routing requirements
Internet adapter | Internal adapter | Routing requirements | |
---|---|---|---|
IPv4 intranet and IPv4 Internet |
Configure the following:
Note the following:
|
Configure the following:
|
To configure the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server to reach all subnets on the internal IPv4 network do the following:
|
IPv6 Internet and IPv6 intranet |
Configure the following:
Because the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server is an IPv6 router, if you have a native IPv6 infrastructure, the Internet interface can also reach the domain controllers on the intranet. In this case, add packet filters to the domain controller in the perimeter network that prevent connectivity to the IPv6 address of the Internet-facing interface of the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server. |
Configure the following:
|
If you have an IPv6 intranet, to configure the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server to reach all of the IPv6 locations, do the following:
|
IPv6 Internet and IPv4 intranet |
The Forefront UAG DirectAccess server forwards default IPv6 route traffic using the Microsoft 6to4 Adapter interface to a 6to4 relay on the IPv4 Internet. You can configure a Forefront UAG DirectAccess server for the IPv4 address of the Microsoft 6to4 relay on the IPv4 Internet with the following command : netsh interface ipv6 6to4 set relay name=192.88.99.1 state=enabled command. |
ISATAP requirements
ISATAP deployment | Requirements |
---|---|
Existing native IPv6 intranet |
With an existing native IPv6 infrastructure, you specify the 48-bit prefix of the organization during DirectAccess deployment, and the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server does not configure itself as an ISATAP router. Do the following:
|
Existing ISATAP deployment |
If you have an existing ISATAP infrastructure, during deployment you are prompted for the 48-bit prefix of the organization and the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server does not configure itself as an ISATAP router. To ensure that DirectAccess clients are reachable from the intranet, you must modify your IPv6 routing infrastructure so that default route traffic is forwarded to the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server. |
Native or ISATAP-based IPv6 connectivity |
When the Forefront UAG DirectAccess Configuration Wizard detects that the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server has no native or ISATAP-based IPv6 connectivity, it automatically derives a 6to4-based 49-bit prefix for the intranet, and configures the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server as an ISATAP router, in order to provide IPv6 connectivity to ISATAP hosts across your intranet. To use ISATAP do the following:
Windows-based ISATAP hosts that can resolve the name ISATAP, perform address auto configuration with the Forefront UAG DirectAccess server, resulting in the automatic configuration of the following:
When your Windows-based ISATAP hosts obtain an ISATAP-based IPv6 address, they begin to use ISATAP-encapsulated traffic to communicate, if the destination is also an ISATAP host. Because ISATAP uses a single 64-bit subnet for the entire intranet, your communication goes from a segmented, multi-subnet IPv4 model of communication, to a flat, single subnet communication model with IPv6. This can affect the way that some Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), and other applications that rely on your Active Directory Sites and Services configuration, behave. For example, if you used the Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in to configure sites, IPv4-based subnets, and inter-site transports for forwarding of requests to servers within sites, this configuration is not used by ISATAP hosts.
