IPv6 Dual-Stack Support for Prisma Access Agent

IPv6 dual-stack support enables Prisma Access Agent to steer both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic in environments where endpoints receive both address types for flexible connectivity.
IPv6 dual-stack support for Prisma Access Agent enables you to steer both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. You can configure forwarding profiles with IPv6 addresses alongside existing IPv4 rules to control how traffic reaches applications. This feature prepares your deployment for the growing adoption of IPv6 in enterprise networks while maintaining full IPv4 compatibility. You can access applications configured with IPv6 addresses and leverage IPv6 performance benefits by bypassing Carrier-Grade NAT limitations common on modern mobile networks. The agent creates a virtual adapter that will accommodate both IPv4 and IPv6 address pools configured on the gateway. Internal Host Detection is not supported at this time for IPv6, so only IPv4 reverse DNS queries can be made to determine when tunnel suppression is appropriate. The Endpoint Manager inventory displays IPv4 public and both IPv4 and IPv6 private addresses to assist with troubleshooting network connectivity issues.
