Why is that the Azure Web Application Firewall doesnot support for IPv6 IP address space?

Question

I was trying to configure WAF with IPv6 address space for my application. But when I try to assign my IPv6 it says the following error message. How can I configure IPv6 with the WAF ?

Answer 1

Refer to public IP address version here in Azure.

Public IP addresses are created with an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Public IPv6 addresses can only be assigned to Internet-facing load balancers.

So you could not assign a public Ipv6 address with an Azure Application Gateway, it only supports in Azure public-facing load balancer.
