IPv6 enablement

From V9.20, BoMC supports IPv6 addressing. This section provides information about enabling IPv6 compatibility.

SOL connections
To use BoMC on a SOL connection in an IPv6 network, all of the following requirements should be met:
  • The network connectivity between the SOL console and the target server uses IPv6.
  • Network connectivity for a file transfer in the unattended mode has been set up before establishing the SOL connection.
Acquisition
  • BoMC can perform acquisition over a direct LAN connection by using IPv6.
  • BoMC can acquire and update the support list through a proxy server with IPv6. The network connection between the proxy server and the target server is not restricted by IPv6.
Connection test
  • You can test the connectivity from the HTTP Proxy page of the BoMC by inputting an IPv6 address enclosed in brackets: [2002:325b:1000::97d:5a20].
  • The IPv6 protocol stack is preinstalled on the system running BoMC.
