To use ISATAP within a site, one will need one or more IPv6 hosts supporting ISATAP, and also a dual stack router supporting it. The following paragraphs on configuration examples cover both host and router setup on multiple platforms. Different implementations of the mechanism should interoperate so that host and router platforms can be mixed as needed.

For general security consideration when setting up ISATAP within a site please refer to Chapter 9. Implementation specific security issues are being addressed in this chapter where needed.
