FortiGate IPv6 support

You can assign both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address to any interface on a FortiGate unit. The interface functions as two interfaces, one for IPv4-addressed packets and another for IPv6-addressed packets.

FortiGate units support static routing, periodic router advertisements, and tunneling of IPv6-addressed traffic over an IPv4-addressed network. All of these features must be configured through the Command Line Interface (CLI). See the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide for information on the following commands:
