Administrator Guide

congured to always assign the same IPv6 address to a particular computer, and never to assign that IP address to another
computer. This allows static IPv6 addresses to be congured in one place, without having to specically congure each computer on
the network in a dierent way.
In IPv6, every interface, whether using static or dynamic address assignments, also receives a local-link address automatically in the
fe80::/64 subnet.
Implementing IPv6 with the Dell Networking OS
The Dell Networking OS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system.
The following table lists the Dell Networking OS version in which an IPv6 feature became available for each platform. The sections
following the table give greater detail about the feature.
