Installing View in an IPv6
Environment 3
View supports IPv6 as an alternative to IPv4. The environment must be either IPv6 only or IPv4 only. View
does not support a mixed IPv6 and IPv4 environment.
Not all View features that are supported in an IPv4 environment are supported in an IPv6 environment.
View does not support upgrading from an IPv4 environment to an IPv6 environment. Also, View does not
support migration between IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
IMPORTANT To run View in an IPv6 environment, you must specify IPv6 when you install all View
components.

Setting Up View in an IPv6 Environment
To run View in an IPv6 environment, you must be aware of the requirements and choices that are specific to
IPv6 when you perform certain administrative tasks.
Before you install View, you must have a working IPv6 environment. The following View administrative
tasks have options that are specific to IPv6.
