IPv6 support
FortiNAC has the ability to support IPv6 addresses by allowing IPv6 endstations (hosts, devices) to communicate with FortiNAC's Portal and Agents.
|
Network device management and discovery in Topology requires networking equipment to have an IPv4 address. |
|
|
The FortiNAC GUI can support both IPv4 and IPv6. |
Polling L3 ( IP->MAC ) data for devices is supported from the following vendors/switches:
- Cisco
- Juniper EX Switches
- HP ProCurve
|
|
Please contact Fortinet Support to request additional device support. |
The following diagram illustrates how IPv6 hosts and devices communicate with FortiNAC using IPv4 routers and switches.
IPv6 hosts and devices can communicate with the FortiNAC via Portal and Agents. Both eth1 and eth0 support IPv4 and IPv6, enabling IPv6 hosts and devices to access the Portal. When a host or device uses IPv6, the IPv6 address is displayed in the Host view Figure 1) or Adapter view (Figure 2), in addition to any IPv4 addresses associated with the host or device. The FortiNAC Admin UI can be accessed using the IPv6 address assigned to eth0.
