add internet-connection-ipv6 enable-nd-proxy

Description

Add a new IPv6 connection and enable the Neighbor Discovery proxy.

On some IPv6 networks, where prefix delegation is not supported, it is possible to use an alternative method for assigning globally-routable IPv6 addresses to internal (LAN) interfaces and hosts.

Prerequisites:

  • Configure IPv6 on WAN or DMZ interface, with connection type: "Obtain automatically (DHCPv6/SLAAC)" (in Gaia Clish, "auto-obtain").

  • Disable NAT and prefix delegation in case they are enabled.

Syntax

add internet-connection-ipv6 name <connection-name> interface-ipv6 {WAN | DMZ} type-ipv6 auto-obtain disable-nat {on | off} enable-nd-proxy {on | off} nd-proxy-local-network <LAN-name>

Parameters

Parameter

nd-proxy-local-network

Specifies the local IPv6 network name.

You must select one of LAN interfaces.
