IPv4 is a connection less protocol for packet switched networking. IPv4 operates as a best effort delivery method, since it
does not guarantee delivery, and does not ensure proper sequencing or duplicate delivery (unlike (TCP).
IPv4 and IPv6 are different enough to warrant separate protocols. IPv6 devices can alternatively use stateless address
autoconfiguration. IPv4 hosts can use link local addressing to provide local connectivity.
Use the IPv6 Inbound Firewall Rules drop-down menu to select the IPv6 specific inbound firewall rules to apply to this
profile’s virtual interface configuration. Select the Create icon to define a new IPv6 firewall rule configuration or select the
Edit icon to modify an existing configuration.
IPv6 is the latest revision of the Internet Protocol (IP) replacing IPv4. IPV6 provides enhanced identification and location
information for systems routing traffic across the Internet. IPv6 addresses are composed of eight groups of four
hexadecimal digits separated by colons.
