IPv6 support for StoneGate IPS was introduced already a couple of years ago in StoneGate 4.3. IPv6 support has now been extended to cover also Firewalls. You can now use IPv6 addresses in FW interface configuration, configure IPv6 Routing and define the IPv6 Access Policy with the help of IPv6 hosts and, networks and address ranges. IPv6 is supported now also for Firewalls

There are still some remaining tasks related to IPv6 support. Those include support for IPv6 clustering, IPv6 protocol agents and IPv6 NAT policies. These remaining enhancements are already in StoneGate roadmap and currently scheduled to version 5.3 (Q1/2011).

    Hi Jan! We are planning to provide the controlled shipment version of 5.2 in the beginning of July. Is there anybody else who’d be interested to beta-test StoneGate 5.2 (FW, IPS, SMC)?
