FortiGate IPv6 support
IPv6 is version 6 of the Internet Protocol. It can provide billions more unique IP addresses
than the previous standard, IPv4. The internet is currently in transition from IPv4 to IPv6
addressing. IPv6 hosts and routers maintain interoperability with the existing IPv4
infrastructure in two ways:
• implementing dual IP layers to support both IPv6 and IPv4
• using IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling to encapsulate IPv6 packets within IPv4 headers to
carry them over IPv4 infrastructure.
FortiGate units are dual IP layer IPv6/IPv4 nodes. They support IPv6 overIPv4 tunneling,
routing, firewall policies and IPSec VPN. You can assign both an IPv4 and an IPv6
address to any interface on a FortiGate unit—the interface functions as two interfaces,
one for IPv4-addressed packets and another for IPv6-addressed packets.
For more information, see the FortiGate IPv6 Support Technical Note available from the
Fortinet Knowledge Center .
Before you can work with IPv6 on the web-based manager, you must enable IPv6 support.
To enable IPv6 support, go to System > Admin > Settings , then under Display Settings ,
select IPv6 Support on GUI .
After you enable IPv6 support in the web-based manager, you can:
• create IPv6 static routes (see Router Static )
• monitor IPv6 routes (see Router Monitor )
