[DennisGlindhart]

Describe the bug Connecting to the IPv6 address of the IP (both Pod, LoadBalancer etc.) doesn't work. curl -v http://\[2001:db8::10::1\]:80

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Deploy nginx gateway fabric on IPv6-enabled (or IPv6-only cluster)
2. curl -v http://<IPv6Address>:80 to IP of the nginx pod, LB etc. (Or hostname/DNS-name

Expected behavior Able to connect, like via IPv4

Your environment

• NGINX Gateway Fabric 1.2
• Kubernetes 1.29
• Nginx Gateway Fabric Pod exposed via LoadBalancer
• NGINX Configuration: kubectl -n nginx-gateway exec <gateway-pod> -c nginx -- nginx -T

Additional context Expected fix: All "listen <port>"-directives in internal/mode/static/nginx/config/servers_template.go should have a corresponding listen [::]:<port>

Hey Dennis, sorry for the delay in response! We are aware that NGF does not support listening on IPv6 or sending to IPv6 addresses at this time, but we are planning on implementing it in 1.4.

I'll move this issue into the milestone so we can track that work here until the epic is more detailed.

As this is enhancement is now being tracked in #2086, closing this bug report.
