IPv4/IPv6 and Server Technology Products
Server Technology uses IPv6 “dual stack” support in the firmware of the PRO1 product lines. IPv6 has been
designed to succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the
IPv4 address space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6.
IPv6 has several new operational methods:
•
Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4.
•
DHCPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of a DHCP IPv4 address, also known as a “stateful” auto -
configuration of DHCPv6.
•
IPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 4862): An automatically-generated unique link-local IPv6
address used for client based configurations. This address is always present in the Server Technology dual
stack and cannot be disabled.
•
DHCPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 3736): A “stateless” Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) service for IPv6 (DHCPv6). This address is used by nodes to obtain configuration
information, such as addresses of DNS recursive name servers that do not require the maintenance of any
dynamic state for individual clients.
Notes:
•
Throughout the Web and CLI firmware interfaces, both IPv4 and IPv6 formats are accepted wherever a
hostname or IP address is provided.
•
IPv6 allows authentication via RADIUS and LDAP.
