Creating an IPv6 Address Template

Create an IPv6 address template with predefined parameters. The template can then be applied when creating a new IPv6 address.

To create an IPv6 address template:
  1. Ensure you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations .
  3. Go to Firewall Objects> Addresses.

    The address list is displayed in the content pane. The available interfaces are selectable on the content pane toolbar.

  4. From the Create New menu, select IPv6 Address Template. The IPv6 Address Template pane opens.
  5. Select or specify the values for the following and click OK:

    Name

    Specify the name for the IPv6 address template.

    IPv6 Address Prefix

    Specify a prefix for the IPv6 address.

    Subnet Segments

    There can only be six subnet segments. These can either be predefined or user created subnet segments.

    Select one of the following predefined subnet segments:

    • country
    • state
    • city
    • site
    • lan
    • vlan

    Create New

    To create a new segment, you must delete one of the existing predefined segments if you already have six subnet segments. Click Create New. Specify the Segment Name, Bits, and toggle Exclusive to Enable or Disable. Click OK.

    Edit Segment

    Click Edit Segment. Edit the Segment Name, Bits, and toggle Exclusive to Enable or Disable. Click OK.

    Edit Values for Segment
