IPv6 Support on Cellular Interface for PA-415-5G Firewall

On a PA-415-5G firewall, the cellular interfaces support dynamically obtaining an IPv6 prefix.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?

Many organizations face the problem of connecting branch offices or remote sites in locations that don't have access to traditional internet providers. The challenge is even greater when a site's only option is a cellular network that uses only IPv6.
The PA-415-5G firewall addresses this by supporting dynamic IPv6 addressing on it cellular interface. This feature allows the firewall to obtain a dynamic IPv6 prefix from a cellular provider, establishing a direct connection to your corporate network even when the ISP only offers IPv6. The firewall can also be configured with a dual-stack configuration to support both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic over the same cellular interface.
This new capability ensures that remote locations can maintain a secure and reliable connection to the rest of your organization. It expands the options available for connecting your business, enabling you to deploy a firewall in any location with a 5G cellular network.
