NG Firewalls & IPv6

Really?? I was looking to install and use as a vm to test with and everything I was reading said it was not implemented and was not on the horizon.

Only version I found from Sophos that was capable was the old Astaro version. I may have to take a second look.

Do you have any links to the configuration from their site you could send off list? Or on list if anyone else is interested.

Thanks,
Robert

We've been using DHCP-PD with Sophos SG/XG on a couple Comcast connections and it works fine. It will even go through all your firewall objects and automatically change the IPv6 prefix from the old to new if the prefix from PD changes.
