SD-WAN IPv6 Basic Connectivity

Configure IPv6 BGP peering over an IPv4 SD-WAN tunnel in a dual stack environment.
Beginning with PAN-OS 11.0.2 and SD-WAN plugin 3.1.1, the legacy routing engine supports SD-WAN in a dual stack environment using IPv6 BGP loopback addresses for BGP peering. Thus, you can establish IPv6 connectivity by having the IPv6 traffic coming from the client to the branch then go over an IPv4 SD-WAN tunnel to reach the server via the hub.
This topic assumes you are familiar with how to configure SD-WAN and add an SD-WAN device. Configure basic IPv6 connectivity when your client connection to the SD-WAN branch and the server connection to the SD-WAN hub use IPv6, while your SD-WAN tunnel from the branch to the hub uses IPv4.
  1. Log in to the Panorama Web Interface.
  2. Select PanoramaSD-WANDevices and Add a new SD-WAN firewall.
  3. Perform the steps to add an SD-WAN device, including the steps to enable and configure IPv4 BGP.
  4. Perform the following steps to enable and configure IPv6 BGP.
    1. Select the IPv6 BGP tab.
    2. Enable IPv6 BGP support.
    3. Specify a static IPv6 Loopback Address for BGP peering.
    4. Add the IPv6 Prefixes to Redistribute. You must add at least one prefix when configuring a hub.
    5. Click OK.
