Configuring an IPv6 prefix list

FortiADC supports IPv6 prefix lists over BGP routing. If you are configuring BGP routing using IPv6, you must configure prefix lists using the IPv6 protocol.

To configure an IPv6 prefix list:
  1. Go to Network > Routing.
  2. Click the Prefix List tab.
  3. Click Create New to display the configuration editor.
  4. Configure the following Prefix IPv6 List settings:

    Description

    Optionally, enter a brief description of the access list.

    The description can be up to 1023 alphanumeric characters long, with no restriction on use of special characters. Space between characters is allowed.

  5. Click Save.
    Once the Prefix IPv6 List configuration is saved, the Rule will be available to configure.
  6. In the Rule section, click Create New to display the configuration editor.
  7. Configure the following Prefix IPv6 List Rule settings:

    Setting

    Guideline

    ActionSelect the action as Permit or Deny.
    IPv6 PrefixEnter the IPv6 address/subnet mask in the format of 0.0.0.0./0.

    GE

    Specify the GE (greater than and equal to) values. Set to 0 or a number larger than netmask.

    LE

    Specify the LE (less than and equal to) values. Set to 0 or a number no smaller than GE.
