Route IPv6 to DMZ

Hi there,

we have a /64 subnet (with gateway) and a /56 assigned by the ISP. No PD in place.
I've assigned an address from the /64 subnet together with the gateway to the WAN interface, which is now reachable via IPv6.

I'd like to assign IPv6 Addresses to the servers in our DMZ too.
How can I do that?

I'm not really clear about why I need two subnets and what to do with the /56 subnet.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  • Hi,

    the /56 is for your internal use. You assign a /64 to each lan and then assign addresses from that /64 pool.

    Lets say I assign a /64 out of the /56 to the DMZ.
    Assume I have a firewall rule allowing traffic from WAN to DMZ.

    Is this enough or do I have to add any routes or anything else for the server in ths DMZ to be reachable by the IPv6 address?

  • Hi,

    if you are using v20.0.1 or later then you don't need a NAT rule for IPv6. A firewall rule allowing internet (WAN) traffic to the DMZ should be enough to provide access.Assumption is the devices in your DMZ have been assigned an IPv6 address.
