BGP and IPv6

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized routing protocol that is used to route traffic across the internet. See BGP for more information.

FortiGate units support IPv6 over BGP using the same config router bgp command as IPv4, but different subcommands.

The main CLI keywords have IPv6 equivalents that are identified by the “6” on the end of the keyword, such as with config network6 or set allowas-in6.

See config router bgp for a comprehensive list of commands.

See Basic IPv6 BGP example for a sample configuration.
