Filtering an IPv6 Extension Header (EH)
ArubaOS firewall is enhanced to process the IPv6 Extension Header (EH) to enable IPv6 packet filtering. You
can now filter the incoming IPv6 packets based on the EH type. You can edit the packet filter options in the
default EH, using the CLI. The default EH alias permits all EH types.
Execute the following commands to permit or deny the IPv6 packets matching an EH type:
(host)(config) #netexthdr default
(host)(config-exthdr) #eh <eh-type> permit | deny
To view the EH types denied:
(host) (config-exthdr) #show netexthdr default
Configuring a Captive Portal over IPv6
IPv6 is now enabled on the captive portal for user authentication on the Dell controller. For user
authentication, use the internal captive portal that is initiated from the controller. A new parameter captive
has been added to the IPv6 captive portal session ACL:
(host) (config) #ipv6 user alias controller 6 svc-https captive
This release does not support external captive portal for IPv6. The captive portal authentication, customization of
pages, and other attributes are same as IPv4.
