Installation Manual

When using IPv6, note the following:
• IPv6 is not supported in the Shared Network Port configuration.
• If you downgrade the iLO firmware from version 1.30 or later to version 1.2x, the IPv6 settings
will be reset to the default values.
• For a list of the iLO features that support IPv6, see “iLO features that support IPv6” (page
105).

• iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first—When both IPv4 and IPv6 service addresses are
configured for iLO client applications, this option specifies which protocol iLO tries first when
accessing a client application. This setting also applies to lists of addresses received from
the name resolver when using FQDNs to configure NTP.
◦ Select this check box if you want iLO to use IPv6 first.
◦ Clear this check box if you want iLO to use IPv4 first.
If communication fails using the first protocol, iLO automatically tries the second protocol.
• Enable Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC)—Select this check box to enable
iLO to create IPv6 addresses for itself from router advertisement messages.
iLO creates its own link-local address even when this option is not selected.
