Enable IPv6 Networking for Mobile Users—GlobalProtect Deployment

How to enable IPv6 networking for a Prisma Access Mobile Users—GlobalProtect deployment.
Where Can I Use This?
What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • Prisma Access
    license version 2.2 Preferred and later
In addition to specifying mobile user IP address pools, you must configure
IPv6 Availability
for your Mobile Users—GlobalProtect deployments. If your network uses IPv6 DNS servers to resolve internal domains, you can also specify IPv6 addresses for primary and secondary DNS servers, as shown in the following section.

Cloud Management

In addition to specifying mobile user IP address pools, you must configure
IPv6 Availability
for your Mobile Users—GlobalProtect deployments. If your network uses IPv6 DNS servers to resolve internal domains, you can also specify IPv6 addresses for primary and secondary DNS servers, as shown in the following section.
  1. Plan if you want to deploy IPv6 across your entire Prisma Access deployment, or for only a certain number of compute locations.
  2. Configure IPv6 availability for the regions where you want to deploy IPv6.
    1. Select
      Manage
      Service Setup
      GlobalProtect
      and select the gear icon to edit the
      Infrastructure Settings
      .
      If you're using Strata Cloud Manager, go to
      Workflows
      Prisma Access Setup
      GlobalProtect
      .
    2. In the
      IPv6 Settings
      section, choose the locations you want to
      Enable
      IPv6 for.
      All locations are associated to a compute location. If locations in a compute location do not have IPv6 enabled, leave that compute location deselected.
  3. (
    Optional
    ) If your internal DNS servers use are reachable by IPv6 addresses, select
    Add Region
    from the
    Client DNS
    section, select the check box to
    Resolve Internal Domains
    ,
    Add
    a rule or specify the default rule, and specify
    Custom
    DNS Server IPv6 addresses for the
    Primary DNS
    and
    Secondary DNS
    server.
    If you enter IPv6 addresses for DNS servers, you must also have IPv6 addresses in your mobile user IP address pool.
    You can enter any combination of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for primary and secondary DNS servers. If you enter an IPv6 address for the primary DNS server and an IPv4 address for the secondary DNS server, and a DNS query is received from a compute location that does not have
    IPv6 Availability
    enabled, Prisma Access uses the secondary DNS server because it uses an IPv4 address.
    IPv4 addresses use A records, while IPv6 addresses use AAAA records. Some DNS servers can perform AAAA DNS lookups over IPv4 transport; therefore, you might not need a server with an IPv6 IP address.
  4. (
    Optional
    ) If you haven't yet completed the mobile users configuration, complete it now. See Set Up GlobalProtect Mobile Users for details.
  5. Push Config
    to deploy your changes to you network.
