Requirements for IPv6 support
The following list provides requirements for Web Tools IPv6 support:
• In a pure IPv6 environment, you must configure DNS maps to the IPv6 address of the switch.
• The switch name is required to match the DNS name that is mapped to the IPv6 address.
• If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are configured, Web Tools uses the IPv4 address to launch the
switch.
• Use a switch with v5.3.0 or higher firmware to manage a mixed fabric of IPv4 and IPv6
switches.
• Switches running on version 5.2.0 do not discover IPv6 address-only switches in the same
fabric until the IPv4 address is configured.
• An IPv6 address cannot be used to directly launch a switch from a Windows environment; it
can be used in Unix and Linux environments.
