# vpn peer local-ip

## Syntax

```
[no] vpn peer <id> local-ip <ipv4>|<ipv6>|v4-none|v6-none
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Removes a previously specified local IP address and restores the default behavior.</td></tr><tr><td>id</td><td>The VPN identifier. Must be a number in the range 0-1022 or the string "auto".</td></tr><tr><td>ipv4</td><td>An IPv4 address (e.g., 10.200.1.1) to be used for IPv4 NAT.</td></tr><tr><td>ipv6</td><td>An IPv6 address (e.g., fdfb:cb92:b476:f3ac::1) to be used for IPv6 NAT.</td></tr><tr><td><code>v4-none</code></td><td>Ignore any remotely-assigned IPv4 address and disable IPv4 NAT.</td></tr><tr><td><code>v6-none</code></td><td>Ignore any remotely-assigned IPv6 address and disable IPv6 NAT.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

If this command is not specified, the default is to use the IP address assigned by the remote peer. If the remote peer has not assigned an IP address, NAT will not be used.

## Usage Guidelines

This command controls whether network address translation (NAT) will be used for outbound traffic on the VPN. If no local address is assigned to the VPN, NAT will not occur and outbound traffic will use local LAN addresses.

If a VPN exists with the specified identifier, the existing VPN will be modified; otherwise, a new VPN with the specified identifier will be created. If "auto" is specified for the identifier, a new VPN will be created using the next available identifier.

## Examples

```
vpn peer 6 local-ip
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/vpn-peer/vpn-peer-local-ip.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
