Prisma Access is extending its support for IPv6 from
private applications to encompass
comprehensive end-to-end IPv6 support for Mobile Users, Remote Networks, and Service
Connections. One advantageous aspect of native IPv6 support is its capacity to
enable Mobile Users utilizing IPv6-only endpoints to establish connections with
Prisma Access via IPv6 connections using GlobalProtect. Additionally, this support
facilitates accessing public SaaS applications over the internet, particularly where
those destinations necessitate IPv6 connections.
IPv6 boasts a significantly larger address space compared to IPv4, thereby
accommodating an almost limitless number of unique IP addresses. Through native IPv6
support, Prisma Access is engineered to be compatible with both IPv6 and dual-stack
connections, facilitating the migration process from IPv4 to IPv6. This
compatibility ensures backward compatibility and empowers organizations in their
transition to cloud-based and IPv6-enabled networks.
