IPv6 configuration summary

IPv6 support is disabled by default.

If Content Gateway is deployed on an appliance, first enable IPv6 on the appliance, then enable it for Content Gateway. See your Forcepoint appliance documentation.

To enable IPv6 support:

Steps

  1. Log on to the Content Gateway manager.
  2. Navigate to the Configure > My Proxy > Basic > General tab.
  3. Under Networking, locate the IPv6 row and select On.

Next steps

Once IPv6 support is enabled, in any field that accepts an IPv6 address, the address can be entered in any format that conforms to the standard. For example:

  • Leading zeros within a 16-bit value may be omitted
  • One group of consecutive zeros may be replaced with a double colon

When IPv6 is disabled, IPv6 entry fields are hidden from view and IPv6 values are deleted from configuration files.

When the DNS Resolver is used, go to the Configure > Networking > DNS Resolver page to set an IPv4 or IPv6 preference. IPv4 is the default.
