Technical Note: How to create secondary IPv6 addresses for interfaces on FortiGates managed by FortiManager
Description
Solution
This article explains how to create secondary IPv6 addresses for interfaces on FortiGates managed by FortiManager.
Solution
The FortiGate needs to be managed by a FortiManager running firmware version 5.4.
- Navigate to Device Manager and double-click on the FortiGate on which the changes are to be made, entering its dashboard.
- Enable displaying CLI-only Objects in the Display Options for the FortiGate (this might require enabling overriding ADOM settings).
- Select 'CLI-only Objects'.
- Go to System > Interface.
- Select the specific interface.
- Enable secondary IP.
- Some lists, possibly empty, will be displayed underneath the 'Apply' Button (It will be necessary to scroll down).
- The first is "ip6-delegated-prefix-list" and then "ip6-extra-addr". This is the list of secondary IPv6 addresses associated with the interface.
- Right-click on 'No record found' and select 'New'.
- Enter the IPv6 details as required.
- Save the change.
- Install the device setting to the FortiGate via the install wizard.
