Concept Guide

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 Dell EMC Networking OS
Dell EMC Networking OS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system.
The following table lists the Dell EMC Networking OS version in which an IPv6 feature became available for each platform. The sections
following the table give greater detail about the feature.
