Basic Steps
  1. Create address objects.
  2. Specify them when you configure your policies.

Before you begin:

  • You must have read-write permission for system settings.

Syntax

config system address6

edit <No.>

set type {ip6-network | ip6-range}

set ip6-network <ip&netmask>

set ip6-min <class_ip>

set ip6-max <class_ip>

next

end

type

  • ip6-network: address block
  • ip6-range: address range

ip6-network

Specify a subnet using the address/mask notation.

ip6-min

Specify the start of an address range.

ip6-max

Specify the end of an address range.
