IPv6 Support
Fiery supports the phase-in transition for IPv6. In
Fiery’s IPv6 phase 1, the following features are
supported:
•
SMB.
•
LPR.
•
Port9100.
•
Enable/disable via LCD (default is enabled).
•
Enable/disable via WebTools v3
Configuration (default is enabled)
•
Approved for IPv6 Ready Phase I Logo.
IPv6 Auto Address Allocation:
•
Fiery receives the IP prefix announced by
the router, and then it negotiates with its
neighbors to get its own specific IP
address.
Workflow on a Windows-based Client:
•
On a Windows-based client, the user
must use either SMB to install the driver
or manually install the driver, create a
port, and manually connect the port to
that driver.
Default Behavior:
•
Fiery ships with IPv6 on by default.
Changes to Config Page:
•
The printed Config page has a new entry
with the IPv6 addresses
For example, XXXX: XXXX: XXXX:
XXXX: XXXX: XXXX: XXXX: XXXX
(Where each X represents a
hexadecimal digit).
Backward Compatibility
•
IPv4 still works in parallel with IPv6; thus,
in network environments that do not yet
have IPv6.
NOTE: The following are the limitations for
Fiery’s IPv6 phase 1 support:
•
No DDNS support.
•
No DHCP6 support.
•
For remote clients over IPv6, no BIDI support
of any kind, including no BIDI in driver and no
job monitor.
•
For remote clients over IPv6, no Harmony
support of any kind, including no CWS.
•
Fiery can be installed in IPV6 environments.
This is a requirement for government sites
in readiness for IPV6 networks.
•
Adoption of the IPv6 Internet Printing
Protocol ensures network printing
compatibility.
