The configuration of the IPv6 firewall is practically the same as the IPv4 firewall; however, it is performed separately.
The inbound and forwarding firewalls each have their own rule tables, which are similar in scope and structure to the IPv4 firewall.
The rules are sorted with decreasing priority, i.e. the rule with the highest priority is at the top of the list. Rules of the same priority are sorted by their precision, analogous to the IPv4 procedure. If a rule requires further actions, these are also performed by firewall in sequence. Otherwise, firewall filtering is terminated after the current rule has been applied.
