IPv6 Tunnel Broker with Fortinet

Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel Broker (http://tunnelbroker.net/) is a free tunnel broker service enables you to reach the IPv6 Internet by tunneling over existing IPv4 connections from your own IPv6 enabled host or router to one of their IPv6 routers. To use this service you need to have an IPv6 capable host or router which also has IPv4 existing Internet connectivity. HE tunnel service is oriented towards developers and experimenters that want a stable tunnel platform. Free registration is needed to use the service. Upon tunnel activation configuration commands for a variety of platforms will be automatically generated. Once you configure your side you will be able to reach the IPv6 Internet.

From tunnel detail page will be available the following details under IPv6 Tunnel Endpoints section: Server IPv4 Address, Server IPv6 Address, Client IPv4 Address, Client IPv6 Address

As you can verify in the example tab configuration, for Fortinet Platform the following commands are needed (you have to substitute the server/client address part with real configuration parameters):

config system sit-tunnel
    edit “HE”
        set destination Server_IPv4 _Address
        set ip6 Client _IPv6_Address
        set source Client_IPv4_Address
    next
end

    next
end
