Unable to ping gateway ipv6 on fortinet

Hi

I am unable to ping the fortinet gateway IPv6 from servers but the fortinet can ping the ipv6 addresses on our servers. Seems to be blocked by fortinet. We are able to ping ipv4 addresses both ways. Ping is set to allow and I'm unclear whatelse is wrong.

Could be a bug.  Seems like it isn't necessarily typical to use all 0 for the host portion of the address...I could be wrong, my IPv6 is limited.  Have you tried changing the address on the FortiGate, for example to fd69:93c1:8105:60e9::1/64?  Could also be a bug with ULA implementation, so you could maybe try using a valid global unicast address.

Diag debug flow is your friend but I have to aggreed that is not the correct method to address a iv6 interface if you want a address apply a 1 or something

 

e.g

 

2001:db8:99::1

 

NOTE : Do not use "0"

 

 

 no good           set ip6-address 2001:db8:99::/64

 no good           set ip6-address 2001:db8:99::0/64

 good           set ip6-address 2001:db8:99::1/64
