Content Gateway support for IPv6

Forcepoint security solutions, including Content Gateway, provide support for IPv6.

Important: In transparent proxy deployments, support requires WCCP v2.01. If you use a Cisco router, it must be version 15.4(1) or later.

Content Gateway support for IPv6 includes:

  • IPv6 on dual IP stack Ethernet interfaces
  • Support for these protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, DNS
  • IPv6 traffic to the Internet, clients, and PAC file servers
  • IPv6 virtual IP addresses (vaddrs.config)
  • Authentication rules by client IPv6 address ranges
  • Client IPv6 addresses and address ranges to allow or restrict access to the proxy (ip_allow.config)
  • Client IPv6 addresses and address ranges to allow or restrict access to the Content Gateway manager (mgmt_allow.config)
  • IPv6 Primary Destination value and Source IP values in proxy filtering rules (filter.config), and parent proxy servers in a chain (parent.config)
  • IPv6 addresses in the SSL Incident List
  • SNMP traps and counters for IPv6 data
