Recommendations

Note the following with respect to IPv6 discovery in FortiWLC 8.6.0.

  • Use only one prefix in RA advertisements.
  • When using DHCP, the prefix lifetime should be high to avoid IP changes.
  • The DHCP and default gateway must be the same in a pure IPv6 environment.
  • Use a prefix-based/stateless configuration when FortiGate is used as the IPv6 DHCP server for APs.
  • IPv6, Override Default DHCP Server Flag, and DHCP IPv6 Relay Pass-Through should be enabled on the VLAN interface for IPv6 bridging (pass-through) to work.
  • Enable neighbor discovery optimization (Configuration > Devices > Controller > IPv6 Parameters).
