IPv6 Gateway:Create and manage an IPv6 gateway

Create an IPv6 gateway

1. Log on to the IPv6 Gateway console. In the top menu bar, select the destination region.

2. Click Create IPv6 Gateway.

   • VPC: Select the VPC to associate with the IPv6 gateway. You cannot change the VPC after the gateway is created.

     • Only one IPv6 gateway can be created in a VPC.

     • When you create an IPv6 gateway, the system automatically adds a custom route with a destination CIDR block of ::/0 to the VPC. A duplicate route is not added if a route with the same destination already exists.

   • IPv6 CIDR Block Type: Specifies the type of IPv6 CIDR block to assign. In this topic, Assign (BGP) Multi-ISP is selected.

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

   • You can select Automatically Enable IPv6 For All VSwitches In VPC. If you do not select this option, click Enable IPv6 in the IPv6 CIDR Block column for the target vSwitch to enable IPv6 for it.

   • Name, Resource Group, and Tag: You can use these parameters to identify and manage your cloud resources.

Delete an IPv6 gateway

If you no longer need IPv6 communication for a VPC, click Delete in the Actions column for the target instance to delete the IPv6 gateway. Before you delete an IPv6 gateway, you must first delete its egress-only rules.
