IPv6 Gateway:Create and manage an IPv6 Gateway

Create an IPv6 Gateway

1. Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console. In the top navigation bar, select the region for the gateway.

2. Click Create IPv6 Gateway.

   • VPC: Select the virtual private cloud (VPC) for the IPv6 Gateway. You cannot change the VPC after the gateway is created.

     • You can create only one IPv6 Gateway per VPC.

     • When you create an IPv6 Gateway, the system automatically adds a custom route to the VPC. The destination CIDR block of the route is ::/0. If there is already a route with the same destination CIDR block, the system does not add a duplicate route.

   • IPv6 CIDR Block Type: Select the IPv6 CIDR block type. This example uses BGP (Multi-ISP).

     This parameter is available only if IPv6 is not yet enabled for the selected VPC.

   • (Optional) Select Automatically Enable IPv6 for All vSwitches. If you do not select this option, you must manually enable IPv6 for each vSwitch by finding the vSwitch and clicking Enable IPv6 in the IPv6 CIDR Block column.

   • Enter a Name for the gateway. You can also select a resource group and add a tag. Use these parameters to identify and manage your cloud resources.

Delete an IPv6 Gateway

To delete an IPv6 Gateway, you must first delete its egress-only rules. Find the gateway that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
