You can add dynamic IPv6 addresses to physical interfaces, VLAN interfaces, and port group interfaces on Single Firewalls.
Note: Dynamic IP addresses are not supported on Aggregated Link interfaces.
You can identify interfaces that have a dynamic IPv6 address using a DHCP Index.

-
(Optional) If you do not want a default route to be automatically created through the interface, deselect
Automatic Default Route.
