Add dynamic IPv6 addresses to Single Engine interfaces

You can add dynamic IPv6 addresses to physical interfaces, VLAN interfaces, and port group interfaces on Single Engines.

1. In the navigation pane on the left, select Interfaces.
2. Right-click a physical interface and select New > IPv6 Address.
3. In the IP Address Properties dialog box, select Dynamic.
4. From the Dynamic Index drop-down list, select a DHCP index.
   The index is used for identification in other parts of the configuration (such as IPS Policies) to represent the possibly changing IP address.
5. If the interface is used for system communications and NAT is applied, add contact addresses.
   1. Enter the default contact address in one of the following ways:
      • In the Default field, enter the contact address.
      • Select Dynamic and define the translated IP address of this component.
   2. If components from some locations must use a different IP address for contact, click Exceptions and define the location-specific addresses.
6. (Optional) If you do not want a default route to be automatically created through the interface, deselect Automatic Default Route.
7. (Optional) If you want to use DHCPv6 to get the IPv6 address, select Use DHCPv6 to get IPv6 Address.
8. Click OK.
   The IP address is added to the interface.
9. Click Save.
   Do not close the Engine Editor.
