Create and manage an IPv6 Gateway

Create an IPv6 Gateway

1. Log in to the IPv6 Gateway console. In the top navigation bar, select the target region.

2. Click Create IPv6 Gateway.

   • VPC: Select the VPC to associate with the IPv6 Gateway. You cannot change this setting after the IPv6 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 with the destination CIDR block of ::/0 to the VPC. If a route with the same destination CIDR block already exists, 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 takes effect only if IPv6 is not enabled for the selected VPC.

   • You can select Automatically Enable IPv6 for All vSwitches. If you do not select this option, you must manually enable IPv6 for each vSwitch. To do so, find the target vSwitch and click Enable IPv6 in the IPv6 CIDR Block column.

   • Name, resource group, and tag: These parameters help you identify and manage cloud resources.

Delete an IPv6 Gateway

If you no longer require IPv6 connectivity for your VPC, you can delete the IPv6 Gateway. Before you delete the gateway, you must first delete its egress-only rules. To do so, find the target gateway, and in the Actions column, click Delete.
