Strata Cloud Manager: NDP Proxy

Strata Cloud Manager supports NDP proxy, which is required when you enable NPTv6.
Strata Cloud Manager now supports Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) Proxy to simplify address resolution in IPv6 environments. This feature allows the firewall to respond to link-layer address requests on behalf of devices behind it, performing a similar function to ARP for IPv4. Configuring NDP Proxy is required when you enable IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6). Key capabilities of NDP Proxy include:
  • Simplified Address Resolution: The firewall automatically responds to Neighbor Solicitation messages for configured IPv6 prefixes.
  • Selective Proxying: You can specify addresses for which the firewall will not act as a proxy (negated addresses).
