mode:
ipv6 access-list session ipv6-web-only
network 2002:d81f:f9f0:1000:: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: any svc-http permit
network 2002:d81f:f9f0:1000:: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: any svc-https permit
Assigning an IPv6 Policy to a User Role
To assign an IPv6 policy using the WebUI:

DHCPv6 Passthrough/Relay
The controller forwards DHCPv6 requests from IPv6 clients to the external IPv6 router. On the external IPv6
router, you must configure the controller’s IP address as the DHCP relay. You do not need to configure an IP
helper address on the controller to forward DHCPv6 requests.
Multicast Snooping
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol enables an IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast
listeners on directly-attached links. This release of ArubaOS supports version 1 of the MLD protocol (MLDv1).
MLDv1, defined in RFC 2710, is derived from version 2 of the IPv4 Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMPv2). You can optionally enable MLD snooping to limit the sending of multicast frames to only those nodes
that need to receive them. Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is not supported.
The following examples create VLAN 22 and enable MLDv1 and MLD snooping on the VLAN.
Use the procedure described below to enable MLDv1 via the WebUI.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > VLANs page.
2. Click Add to create a new VLAN.
3. On the Add New VLAN page, enter 22 for the VLAN ID.
4. Click Apply.
5. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP > IP Interfaces page.
6. Click Edit for VLAN 22.
7. Select both Enable MLD and Snooping.
Note: Rules can be reordered using the up and down arrow buttons provided for each rule.
