IPv6 Must be Enabled Globally and on an Interface
IPv6 must be explicitly enabled in NetDefendOS for it to function. This is done in the two ways:
A. Enable IPv6 globally.
B. Enable IPv6 on an Ethernet interface.
These are described next.
A. Enable IPv6 Globally
There is a global advanced setting that enables IPv6 and if it is not enabled, all IPv6 traffic is
ignored. By default, this setting is disabled.
Example 3.7. Enabling IPv6 Globally
This example enables all IPv6 features across the whole of NetDefendOS. If an IPv6 feature is used and this
setting is not enabled, a warning will be generated when the configuration is activated.
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> set Settings IPSettings EnableIPv6=Yes
Web Interface
1. Go to: System > Advanced Settings > IP Settings
2. Enable the setting: Enable IPv6
3. Click OK
B. Enable IPv6 on an Interface
Once IPv6 is enabled globally, IPv6 should then be enabled on any Ethernet interface with
which it is to be used. At the same time that an interface is enabled for IPv6, an IPv6 address and
IPv6 network (prefix) must be assigned to it. The interface can then be used in rules and routes
with IPv6 properties. By default, this setting is disabled for all interfaces.
Example 3.8. Enabling IPv6 on an Interface
Note: The prefix 2001:DB8::/32 is reserved for documentation
As described in RFC3849, the IPv6 prefix 2001:DB8::/32 is specifically reserved for
documentation purposes. All IPv6 examples in this manual therefore use this network
or addresses from it.
