static mapping on ASA from IPv6 to IPv4

[Florin Andrei]

ASA 5520 running 8.2

Is it possible to do static (inside,outside) with the outside address being IPv6 and the inside IPv4?

If yes, is it possible to do this in parallel with an existing static mapping that goes IPv4 to IPv4?

Hello Florin,

The ASA supports IPv6, but does not support NAT between an IPv4 and IPv6 ip address.

Please rate helpful posts,

So, if I want to present an IPv6 address to the world, while keeping my private internal IPv4 addresses unchanged, I'll have to rely on another device to perform the mapping.

This is a network where the ASA is doing NAT between public and private IPv4 addresses. Behind the ASA there are load balancers, web servers, etc., all on private IPv4.

The purpose of this inquiry is to figure out a way to enable a web-facing IPv6 address for the website, while keeping the existing public IPv4 address also.

Hello Florin,

You are right, this because you cannot perform it with the ASA.
