Symptoms

When we save a rule with protocol set to icmp_v6 and then try to access it again, the protocol information is not shown.

Impact

The protocol field appears to be empty in the GUI.

Conditions

Protocol name fields stored in mcp and postgres do not match. tmsh returns "IPV6_ICMP" and postgres returns "ICMPV6"

Workaround

Use tmsh to update/edit icmp_v6 based rules.

Fix Information

The firewall policy editor now properly handles protocol selection icmp_v6.
