Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> set Settings IPSettings EnableIPv6=Yes
Web Interface
1. Go to: System > Advanced Settings > IP Settings
2. Enable the setting: Enable IPv6
3. Click OK
B. Enable IPv6 on an Interface
Once IPv6 is enabled globally, IPv6 should then be enabled on any Ethernet interface with
which it is to be used. At the same time that an interface is enabled for IPv6, an IPv6 address
and IPv6 network (prefix) must be assigned to it. The interface can then be used in rules and
routes with IPv6 properties. By default, this setting is disabled for all interfaces.
Example 3.10. Enabling IPv6 on an Interface
This example enables IPv6 on the wan Ethernet interface using the address objects created
previously.
Command-Line Interface
gw-world:/> set Interface Ethernet wan
EnableIPv6=Yes
IPv6IP=wan_ip6
IPv6Network=wan_net6
Web Interface
1. Go to: Network > Interfaces and VPN > Ethernet > wan
2. Enable the option: Enable IPv6
3. Now enter:
• IP Address: wan_ip6
• Network: wan_net6
4. Click OK
An IPv6 gateway address could also be entered for the interface if it is connected to an ISP router.
An Interface Route is Added Automatically
When an IPv6 address and network are assigned to an Ethernet interface (both are required) then
an IPv6 route for that interface should be added to the main routing table.
