Palo Alto

Create the service object for this port, then allow the App-ID on it. Restricting the rule to the port's service object keeps the rule working on a non-default port and stops the App-ID matching on other ports. Replace the placeholders with your own rule name and zones.

set service udp-547 protocol udp port 547

set rulebase security rules <rule-name> from <from-zone> to <to-zone> source any destination any application dhcpv6 service udp-547 action allow

Risk and exposure
