3.2. IPv6 Support Chapter 3. Fundamentals This example enables IPv6 on the wan Ethernet interface using the address objects created previously. Command-Line Interface gw-world:/> set Interface Ethernet wan EnableIPv6=Yes IPv6IP=wan_ip6 IPv6Network=wan_net6 Web Interface 1. Go to: Interfaces > Ethernet > wan 2. Enable the option: Enable IPv6 3. Now enter: • IP Address: wan_ip6 • Network: wan_net6 4. Click OK An IPv6 gateway address could also be entered for the interface if it is connected to an ISP router. An Interface Route is Added Automatically When an IPv6 address and network are assigned to an Ethernet interface (both are required) then an IPv6 route for that interface should be added to the main routing table. The route is added provided the automatic route creation for the interface is enabled (it is enabled by default). Enabling IPv6 Router Advertisement An additional option for an Ethernet interface is to enable IPv6 router advertisement. This means that any external client connected to the interface can solicit and receive IPv6 messages to allow it to perform Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC). The SLAAC process allows the client to create its own unique global IPv6 address based on the MAC address of its interface and the prefix of the IPv6 address for the NetDefendOS interface it is connected to. Example 3.9. Enabling IPv6 Advertisements This example enables IPv6 advertisements on the wan Ethernet interface. Command-Line Interface gw-world:/> set Interface Ethernet wan EnableRouterAdvertisement=Yes Web Interface 1. Go to: Interfaces > Ethernet > wan 2. Select the tab: Advanced 3. Enable the option: Enable router advertisement for this interface 4. Click OK 95
