NOTE: The IPv6 link-local address for the ESXi host. Repeat this process for other ESXi hosts

within the cluster and note their IPv6 link-local addresses.

Figure 9. Verifying ESXi Host IPv6 Address

Run the SSH commands on one of the ESXi hosts ping -6 -I vmk0 ff02::1. ff02::1 is the IPv6 link-

local scope all-nodes multicast address. All IPv6 entities, including the respective EVO:RAIL ESXi

nodes should respond. You see many replies and replies with DUP! posted. Confirm within the list,

the IPv6 addresses of the vSphere vCenter Server Appliance and respective ESXi hosts is present. This

confirms that the required IPv6 and IPv6 multicast is working on the switch.

NOTE: If SSH is not working, ensure SSH is enabled on the ESXi hosts by logging directly in to

the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) by either directly connecting a monitor and keyboard

to the respective server node or by connecting by using vSphere Web Client to the respective

ESXi host.
