Enable IPv6 Networking for Remote Networks

Enable IPv6 networking in a Prisma Access remote network 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
For remote network connections, you can use IPv6 subnets for static routes. For BGP routing, you can enter IPv6 peer addresses and specify that BGP use IPv6 routing only or both IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
To configure IPv6 networking for remote network connections, complete the following task.

Cloud Management

Enable IPv6 networking in a Prisma Access remote network deployment.
  1. Select
    Manage
    Remote Networks
    Remote Networks Setup
    .
    If you're using Strata Cloud Manager, go to
    Workflows
    Prisma Access Setup
    Remote Networks
    and
    Add Remote Networks
    .
  2. Add a new remote network connection or select an existing remote network connection to edit it.
  3. Set up IPv6 routing for your remote network.
    1. (
      Static Routing Deployments Only
      ) Enter one or more
      Corporate Subnets
      in the
      Static Routes
      tab.
    2. (
      BGP Routing Deployments Only
      ) Specify the method to exchange IPv4 and IPv6 BGP routes; then, enter an IPv6
      Peer Address
      and
      Local Address
      .
      • To use a single IPv4 BGP session to exchange both IPv4 and IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange both IPv4 and IPv6 routes over IPv4 peering
        .
      • To an IPv4 BGP session to exchange IPv4 BGP peering information and an IPv6 session to exchange IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange IPv4 routes over IPv4 peering and IPv6 routes over IPv6 peering
        .
      • To use a single IPv6 BGP session to exchange IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange IPv6 routes over IPv6 peering
        .
    3. If your secondary WAN uses a different peer or local address, deselect
      Same as Primary WAN
      and enter the IPv6
      Peer Address
      and
      Local Address
      for the secondary WAN.
  4. (
    Optional
    ) If your internal DNS servers use are reachable by IPv6 addresses, select
    Manage
    Service Setup
    Remote Networks
    Remote Networks Setup
    Advanced Settings
    and find
    DNS Proxy
    ,
    Add
    a rule or specify the default rule, and specify
    Custom DNS Server
    IPv6 addresses for the
    Primary DNS
    and
    Secondary DNS
    server.
    Prisma Access allows you to specify DNS servers to resolve both domains that are internal to your organization and external domains. If you do not specify any settings, Prisma Access does not proxy DNS requests for remote networks. You also need to select a
    Region
    .
    You can enter any combination of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses for primary and secondary DNS servers.
    • 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.
    • If you're using Strata Cloud Manager, go to
      Workflows
      Prisma Access Setup
      Remote Networks
      Advanced Settings
      find
      DNS Proxy
      .
  5. If you have not yet completed the remote network connection setup, complete it now.
    IPv6 internet access for remote network connections is enabled by an underlay connection, in which IPv6 traffic is passed through an IPv4 tunnel.
  6. Push Config
    to deploy your changes to you network.

Panorama

Enable IPv6 networking in a Prisma Access remote network deployment.
  1. (
    Optional
    ) Enter IPv6 addresses to your custom DNS server proxy configuration.
    1. Select
      Panorama
      Cloud Services
      Configuration
      Remote Networks
      and edit the settings by clicking the gear icon in the
      Settings
      area.
    2. In the
      DNS Proxy
      area, enter IPv6
      Custom DNS Server
      addresses for your DNS proxy settings.
  2. Select
    Panorama
    Cloud Services
    Configuration
    Remote Networks
    .
  3. Add
    a new remote network connection or select an existing remote network connection to edit it.
  4. Set up IPv6 routing for your remote network.
    1. (
      Static Routing Deployments Only
      ) Enter one or more
      Corporate Subnets
      in the
      Static Routes
      tab.
    2. (
      BGP Routing Deployments Only
      ) Specify the method to exchange IPv4 and IPv6 BGP routes; then, enter an IPv6
      Peer Address
      and
      Local Address
      .
      • To use a single IPv4 BGP session to exchange both IPv4 and IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange both IPv4 and IPv6 routes over IPv4 peering
        .
      • To an IPv4 BGP session to exchange IPv4 BGP peering information and an IPv6 session to exchange IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange IPv4 routes over IPv4 peering and IPv6 routes over IPv6 peering
        .
      • To use a single IPv6 BGP session to exchange IPv6 BGP peering information, select
        Exchange IPv6 routes over IPv6 peering
        .
    3. If your secondary WAN uses a different peer or local address, deselect
      Same as Primary WAN
      and enter the IPv6
      Peer Address
      and
      Local Address
      for the secondary WAN.
  5. (
    Optional
    ) If your internal DNS servers use are reachable by IPv6 addresses, select
    Panorama
    Cloud Services
    Configuration
    Remote Network
    Settings
    , click the gear icon to edit the settings, select the
    DNS Proxy
    tab,
    Add
    a rule or specify the default rule, and specify
    Custom DNS Server
    IPv6 addresses for the
    Primary DNS
    and
    Secondary DNS
    server.
    Prisma Access allows you to specify DNS servers to resolve both domains that are internal to your organization and external domains. If you do not specify any settings, Prisma Access does not proxy DNS requests for remote networks. You also need to select a

    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.
  6. If you have not yet completed the remote network connection setup, complete it now.
  7. Commit and Push
    your changes.
  8. Select
    Panorama
    Cloud Services
    Status
    Network Details
    Remote Networks
    and make a note of the
    EBGP Router
    addresses.
    After you commit your changes, you will have an IPv6
    EBGP Router
    addresses for service connections.
    Because the IPSec tunnel used for the remote network connection uses IPv4 addressing, the
    Service IP Address
    stays as an IPv4 address.
    IPv6 internet access for remote network connections is enabled by an underlay connection, in which IPv6 traffic is passed through an IPv4 tunnel.
