How enable IPv6 module in LTM

Hi,

 

I can´t have SELF IPs with IPv6 in ou LTM. I put here what I see about license:

 

Local Traffic Manager, 3600(Perpetual) Local Traffic Manager Module ADD IPV6 GATEWAY ADD RATE SHAPING ADD RAMCACHE 50 MBPS COMPRESSION SSL 500 TPS Per Core ADD SSL CMP ADD ANTI-VIRUS CHECKS ADD BASE ENDPOINT SECURITY CHECKS ADD FIREWALL CHECKS ADD NETWORK ACCESS ADD SECURE VIRTUAL KEYBOARD ADD WEB APP ADD MACHINE CERTIFICATE CHECKS ADD PROTECTED WORKSPACE

 

How I can ADD IPv6 Gateway module ? Do I need to purchase a new license or is already included ?

 

Regards, Jorge.

    I had seen it, but could you tell me if I have IPV6 GATEWAY licence ready showing the next output ? I see that as Active Modules in my F5:

    Hi,

     

    IPv6 is available for any bigIP starting with version 10.0. There is no license to enable. I configured it on VE without other requirements (in version 11.5 and later).

     

    you only have to create self IP, routes and virtual servers.

     

    As F5 SE told me several years ago, the F5 kernel is IPv6 only and IPv4 addresses are converted to IPv6 before inspection.

      so if I see "ADD IPV6 GATEWAY" into License Configuration, Do I need to purchase or only enable it ?

    Hi,

     

    Which version are you running? because version 10.x above IPV6 gateway is default enabled.

     

    https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13013 http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/200/sol9279.html?sr=12550422 http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm_sol_guide_943/sol_ipv6_gateway.html1072045

     

    If you are running above 10.x version and not able to see IPV6 gateway under the active module, please check with F5 account team.
