    Hi,

     

    to enable IPv6, you have to :

     

    • create IPv6 self IP
    • create IPv6 routes (not sure it is necessary)
    • create IPv6 VS
    • if pool is IPv4, configure source address translation to automap or SNAT Pool with IPv4 addresses on virtual server. it will translate IPv6 client side source address to IPv4 source address on server side.
