IPv6 BGP over IPv4 IPSEC

I have two sites, A(FGT60E) and B (FGT60D).

They are connected via IPSEC Tunnel.

The IPv4 LAN subnets for both sites are advertised via BGP and working.

 

I recently introduced IPv6 on both sites. 

IPv6 is activated on BGP. "network6" is also configured to advertise under BGP configuration.

 

I am able to see the IPv6 subnets being advertise on both Fortigates bgp table. However, the IPv6 received route is not in the routing table...

 

Site A:

BGP table version is 12, local router ID is 10.10.22.1 Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,               S Stale Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete    Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight RouteTag Path [style="background-color: #ffff00;"]*> fd01:101:101:13::/64[/style]                     ::ffff:a0d:2 0 0 0 64013 i *> fd01:101:101:ab00::/64                                                    100 32768 0 i Total number of prefixes 2

What seems to be the issue??

did you get any further with this?

 

im doing some ipv6 configuration over a BGP IPv4 neighbourship relation

 

did you check your routing database? for me the advertised route is there but it is inactive, also the via doesn't make sense there

what do you mean with "IPv6 is activated on BGP."

 

i tried with IPv6 neighbourship in parallel, but that seems to get less far. need to try that again with IPv6 only.

tried with only IPv6 neighbours and it works fine, both for IPv4 and IPv6.

 

then found this knowledge base article, that is probably the way to go:
