Add an IPv6 address for a Firewall Cluster interface.

For more details about the product and how to configure features, click Help or press F1.

Steps

  1. In the navigation pane on the left, select Interfaces.
  2. Right-click a physical interface or a VLAN interface and select New > IPv6 Address.
  3. Select the types of IP addresses that you want to add using the Cluster Virtual IP Address and Node Dedicated IP Address options.
    By default, both are selected.
    • If the interface does not receive or send traffic that the firewall examines, there is no need to define a Cluster Virtual IP address.
    • We recommend that you add a Node Dedicated IP address for each (sub)network that is located behind the Physical Interface.
  4. If you are adding a Cluster Virtual IP address, in the IPv6 Address field, enter the IP address that is used as the Cluster Virtual IP address.
    Tip: To resolve the IP address from a DNS name, right-click the field, then select Resolve From DNS Name.
  5. If you are adding a Node Dedicated IP address for the nodes, double-click the IPv6 Address cell for each node and enter the IP address.
    Tip: To resolve the IP address from a DNS name, right-click the field, then select Resolve From DNS Name.
  6. (Optional) In the Prefix Length field, change the automatically filled in prefix length (0-128).
  7. Click OK.
  8. Click Save.
    Do not close the Engine Editor.
