Feature Request - IPV6 Prefix Delegation

Not sure where to request features, so requesting this here.

When does Sophos plan to implement IPV6 Prefix Delegation? Major service providers such as AT&T, COX, Comcast, ect. All designate a /60 or /56 with prefix delegation to /64 subnets. We should not have to use NAT with IPv6.

Regards,

Jacob

  • I would also really, really like to get Network Prefix Translation (NPT) as well as Prefix Delegation (PD). Unless you either have a total user-oriented/authenticated infrastructure or are willing to let SLAAC do whatever it wants -- which might be okay in a totally corporate environment or a total home use-the-ISP-router environment, respectively -- it seems to me that DHCPv6 and NPT are sort of necessary, so you can assign internal IP's but not have to do crazy stuff when your prefix changes.

    On the downside, the "busybox" implementation of executables that Sophos SFOS uses has a DHCP server that evidently has a bug in its PD that renders it inoperable, and doesn't have NPT, which would require a significant change in how Sophos does DHCP/DHCPv6.

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    I will pass your feedback to our PM team, but you can also do it directly from the Feedback bottom in the GUI of the XG and by talking to your Account Manager or Sales Engineer.
