Telnet with IPv6
IPv6 Telnet is supported on platforms c e s
The Telnet client and server in FTOS support IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet session directly 
to the router using an IPv6 Telnet client, or an IPv6 Telnet connection can be initiated from the router. 
SNMP over IPv6
SNMP is supported on platforms c e s
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be configured over IPv6 transport so that an IPv6 host 
can perform SNMP queries and receive SNMP notifications from a device running FTOS IPv6. The FTOS

SNMP and SYSLOG 
chapter in the 
FTOS Command Line Interface Reference for more information regarding SNMP commands.
