Enhanced Application Logs for ICMPv6

Automatically generate enhanced application logs from ICMPv6 neighbor discovery protocol packets to support IPv6 deployments in Device Security and Cortex XDR.
PAN-OS uses deep packet inspection (DPI) to generate enhanced application logs (EAL) from ICMPv6 neighbor discovery protocol (NDP) packets. With ICMPv6 EAL, Device Security can learn about devices and device attributes and support Advanced Device-ID for IPv6 deployments. Cortex XDR can also use ICMPv6 EALs from PAN-OS.
EALs for ICMPv6 NDP is enabled by default. To prevent log flooding from ICMPv6 deployments, you can disable ICMPv6 EAL using the CLI. When disabling ICMPv6 EAL, commit the device config for the change to take effect.

If you disable ICMPv6 EAL, you can reenable it using the CLI. Commit the device config for the change to take effect.
