Planning for a dual-stack implementation

Network management systems can use IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6 communication protocols on the same network infrastructure. The default protocol is IPv4. Managing interconnects with IPv4 and IPv6 protocols provides network address redundancy if the IPv4 primary address fails to connect.

IPv4/IPv6 dual communication stack configuration is required for the appliance to communicate with the interconnects on the IPv6 management network.

To set up a dual-stack protocol for an enclosure, use the Onboard Administrator to enable IPv4 and IPv6 address types.
