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.
