Hi,

You need to select NAT64 and then you should be able to select VIP as destination.

Hi,

You are still not able to select VIP in firewall policy? If you are on 6.4, you need to enable under feature visibility IPv6 and Nat46/Nat64 options. Then create NAT64 VIP and then use this VIP in IPv4 policy.

i already enabled IPv6 and Nat46/Nat64 options also the created nat64 vip is not showing in the ipv4 policy as destination.

You can use VIP in Nat64 policy only. Then in IPV4 you normal IPv4 address as it will be translated already..

what i should choose in the nat64 IP Pool Configuration

Safest way is to use "Use outgoing interface address".

Hi. If traffic still does not work, use debug flows, for both IPv4 and IPv6 to see the flow:
