Allow or block IPv6 addresses using the Tenant Allow/Block List

Tip

Did you know you can try the features in Microsoft Defender XDR for Office 365 Plan 2 for free? Use the 90-day Defender for Office 365 trial at the Microsoft Defender portal trials hub. Learn about who can sign up and trial terms on Try Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

In Microsoft 365 organizations with mailboxes in Exchange Online or standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) organizations without Exchange Online mailboxes, admins can create and manage entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List. For more information about the Tenant Allow/Block List, see Manage allows and blocks in the Tenant Allow/Block List.

This article describes how admins can manage entries for IPv6 addresses in the Microsoft Defender portal and in Exchange Online PowerShell.

What do you need to know before you begin?

  • You open the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com. To go directly to the Tenant Allow/Block Lists page, use https://security.microsoft.com/tenantAllowBlockList. To go directly to the Submissions page, use https://security.microsoft.com/reportsubmission.

  • To connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, see Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell. To connect to standalone EOP PowerShell, see Connect to Exchange Online Protection PowerShell.

  • IPv6 addresses are supported only in the following formats:

    • Single addresses in colon-hexadecimal format. For example, 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
    • Single addresses in zero-compression format. For example, 2001:db8::1 represents 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001.
    • CIDR IPv6 range. For example, 2001:0db8::/32. 1-128 range is supported.

  • Entry limits for IP addresses:

    • Exchange Online Protection: The maximum number of allow entries is 500, and the maximum number of block entries is 500 (1000 IP entries in total).
    • Defender for Office 365 Plan 1: The maximum number of allow entries is 1000, and the maximum number of block entries is 1000 (2000 IP entries in total).
    • Defender for Office 365 Plan 2: The maximum number of allow entries is 5000, and the maximum number of block entries is 10000 (15000 IP entries in total).

  • An entry should be active within 5 minutes.

  • You need to be assigned permissions before you can do the procedures in this article. You have the following options:

    • Microsoft Defender XDR Unified role based access control (RBAC) (If Email & collaboration > Exchange Online permissions permissions is Active. Affects the Defender portal only, not PowerShell): Authorization and settings/Security settings/Detection tuning (manage) or Authorization and settings/Security settings/Core security settings (read).

    • Exchange Online permissions:

      • Add and remove entries from the Tenant Allow/Block List: Membership in one of the following role groups:
        • Organization Management or Security Administrator (Security admin role).
        • Security Operator (Tenant AllowBlockList Manager).
      • Read-only access to the Tenant Allow/Block List: Membership in one of the following role groups:
        • Global Reader
        • Security Reader
        • View-Only Configuration
        • View-Only Organization Management

    • Microsoft Entra permissions: Membership in the Global Administrator*, Security Administrator, Global Reader, or Security Reader roles gives users the required permissions and permissions for other features in Microsoft 365.

      Important

      * Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.

Create allow entries for IPv6 addresses

The allow entry overrides only the IP filters for the specified sending IP address.

You can create allow entries for IPv6 addresses directly in the Tenant Allow/Block List as described in this section.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to create allow entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

  1. In the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com, go to Policies & rules > Threat Policies > Rules section > Tenant Allow/Block Lists. Or, to go directly to the Tenant Allow/Block Lists page, use https://security.microsoft.com/tenantAllowBlockList.

  2. On the Tenant Allow/Block Lists page, select the IP addresses tab.

  3. On the IP addresses tab, select Allow.

  4. In the Allow IP addresses flyout that opens, configure the following settings:

    • Add IP address: Enter one IP address per line, up to a maximum of 20.

    • Remove allow entry after: Select from the following values:

      • 1 day
      • 7 days
      • 30 days
      • Never expire (default)
      • Specific date: The maximum value is 90 days from today.

    • Optional note: Enter descriptive text for why you're allowing the IP addresses.

    When you're finished in the Allow IP addresses flyout, select Add.

Back on the IP addresses tab, the entry is listed.

Use PowerShell to create allow entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

In Exchange Online PowerShell, use the following syntax:

New-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP -Allow -Entries "IPAddress1","IPAddress2",..."IPAddressN" <-ExpirationDate Date | -NoExpiration> [-Notes <String>]

This example adds an allow entry for the specified IP address that never expires.

New-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP -Allow -Entries "2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8882" -NoExpiration

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-TenantAllowBlockListItems.

Create block entries for IPv6 addresses

You can create block entries for IPv6 addresses directly in the Tenant Allow/Block List as described in this section.

Incoming email messages from IPv6 addresses in block entries are blocked at the edge of the service.

Use the Microsoft Defender portal to create block entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

  1. In the Microsoft Defender portal at https://security.microsoft.com, go to Policies & rules > Threat Policies > Rules section > Tenant Allow/Block Lists. Or, to go directly to the Tenant Allow/Block Lists page, use https://security.microsoft.com/tenantAllowBlockList.

  2. On the Tenant Allow/Block Lists page, select the IP addresses tab.

  3. On the IP addresses tab, select Block.

  4. In the Block IP addresses flyout that opens, configure the following settings:

    • Add IP address: Enter one IP address per line, up to a maximum of 20.

    • Remove block entry after: Select from the following values:

      • 1 day
      • 7 days
      • 30 days
      • Never expire (default)
      • Specific date: The maximum value is 90 days from today.

    • Optional note: Enter descriptive text for why you're blocking the IP addresses.

    When you're finished in the Block IP addresses flyout, select Add.

Back on the IP addresses tab, the entry is listed.

Use PowerShell to create block entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

In Exchange Online PowerShell, use the following syntax:

New-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP -Block -Entries "IPAddress1","IPAddress2",..."IPAddressN" <-ExpirationDate Date | -NoExpiration> [-Notes <String>]

This example adds an block entry for the specified IP address that never expires.

New-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP -Block -Entries "2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8882" -NoExpiration

For detailed syntax and parameter information, see New-TenantAllowBlockListItems.

Use the Search box and a corresponding value to find specific entries.

To group the entries, select Group and then select Action. To ungroup the entries, select None.

Use PowerShell to view entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

In Exchange Online PowerShell, use the following syntax:

Get-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP [-Allow] [-Block] [-Entry <IPaddress>] [<-ExpirationDate Date | -NoExpiration>]

This example returns all allowed and blocked IP addresses.

Get-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP

This example returns information for the specified IP address.

Get-TenantAllowBlockListItems -ListType IP -Entry "2001:db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8882"

      • Optional note

    When you're finished in the Edit IP addresses flyout, select Save.

Use PowerShell to modify existing allow or block entries for IPv6 addresses in the Tenant Allow/Block List

In Exchange Online PowerShell, use the following syntax:
