Hello,
i'm configuring IPv6 in my network. I have the FortiGate (7.4.5) configured with a DNS server as a secondary for all my Active Directory zones. With IPv4 this is working without problems even with the reverse zones.
Now i'm trying the same with the IPv6 reverse zone, but the GUI is telling me that the name is to long. I havn't try in CLI.
And when configuring a slave DNS zone, why can i only enter a IPv4 master address?
Looks like IPv6 is in the DNS server configuration not completely implemented. Or is this only a GUI problem and all can be done in CLI?
Kind regards
Stefan
Okay, one thing i figured out, in the past i entered the same values in the domain and zone name, but only the zone name is limited in the length and the domain name not. So i can enter something at zone name like "reverse zone subnet 99" and in the domain name field the reverse zone dns name.
This is working.
But the primary IP i can't enter a IPv6 IP, also not in the CLI, so here it seems that fortinet must do some work to implement IPv6 completely in the DNS server.
