IPv6 gateways are used to control the IPv6 traffic of virtual private clouds (VPCs). After you create an IPv6 gateway, you can purchase IPv6 Internet bandwidth for the IPv6 gateway and create egress-only rules. This way, you can control the inbound and outbound IPv6 traffic of the VPC in a flexible manner.
Regions that support IPv6 gateways
The following regions support IPv6 gateways: China (Qingdao), China (Beijing), China (Zhangjiakou), China (Hohhot), China (Ulanqab), China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), China (Shenzhen), China (Heyuan), China (Guangzhou), China (Chengdu), China (Hong Kong), Philippines (Manila), Singapore (Singapore), US (Virginia), and Germany (Frankfurt).
Create an IPv6 gateway
Modify an IPv6 gateway
After you create an IPv6 gateway, you can modify the name and description of the IPv6 gateway.
- Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console.
- In the top navigation bar, select the region where the IPv6 gateway is deployed.
- On the IPv6 Gateway page, find the IPv6 gateway that you want to manage and click Manage in the Actions column.
- In the Information section, click Edit to change the name or the description of the IPv6 gateway.
Delete an IPv6 gateway
If your VPC no longer needs to communicate with another network over IPv6, you can delete the IPv6 gateway of the VPC. Before you delete an IPv6 gateway, you must delete the egress-only rules of the IPv6 gateway. For more information, see Delete an egress-only rule.
- Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console.
- In the top navigation bar, select the region where the IPv6 gateway is deployed.
- On the IPv6 Gateway page, find the IPv6 gateway that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
- In the Delete IPv6 Gateway message, click OK.
