IOS ZBF not allowing IPv6

mocah

Hello all,

I am trying to configure Zone Based Firewall (IOS 15.2T) on Cisco 881 router for IPv6. Current setup is simple:

Zone:

LAN --> WAN

zone security LAN

zone security WAN

!

class-map type inspect match-any Internet-cmap

match protocol dns

match protocol http

match protocol https

match protocol icmp

match protocol ftp

match protocol pop3

match protocol pop3s

match protocol smtp

!

policy-map type inspect Internet-pmap

class type inspect Internet-cmap

inspect

!

zone-pair security LAN-WAN source LAN destination WAN

service-policy type inspect Internet-pmap

Zone:

WAN--> self deny everything.

Current configuration behaves as expected for IPv4, but blocks all IPv6 traffic. If zone-security is removed from WAN interface IPv6 works normally (connected to Internet). As soon as zone-security is enabled on WAN interface all IPV6 traffic is discarded when connecting to Internet from local LAN.

Error messages on console:

Half-open Sessions source destination tcp SIS_OPENING/TCP_SYNSENT

Are there any specia settings for ZBF which should be turned on for IPv6 protocol?

Thank you and kind regards,

Marko

Problem is with Internet  to Self zone. If  zone Internet to Self  is removed IPv6 works.

FW-6-DROP_PKT: Dropping icmpv6 session [FE80::290:1AFF:xxxx:xxxx]:0 [FE80::221:D8FF:xxxx:xxxx]:0 on zone-pair Internet-to-Self class Internet-to-Self-icmpv6-cmap   with ip ident 0

Which rule would allowed IPv6 traffic from Internet to self zone? I have tried to allowe all icmpv6 traffic but same error appeared. Only if zone-security Internet to Self is removed IPv6 works.

Thank you and kind regards,

Marko
