A P P E N D I X A

If you are experiencing difficulties with connecting to ILOM when using IPv6, see TABLE A-1 to help resolve common problems when accessing ILOM using IPv6.

TABLE A-1 Common IPv6 Connection Problems and Suggested Resolutions
IPv6 Common Connection Problems	Suggested Resolution
Unable to access the ILOM web interface using an IPv6 address.	Ensure that the IPv6 address in the URL is enclosed by brackets, for example: `https://[fe80::221:28ff:fe77:1402]`
Unable to download a file using an IPv6 address.	Ensure that the IPv6 address in the URL is enabled by brackets, for example: `load -source tftp://[fec0:a:8:b7:214:rfff:fe01:851d]desktop.pkg`
Unable to access ILOM using IPv6 from a network client.	If on a separate subnet, try the following: Verify that ILOM has a dynamic or static address (not just a Link-Local address). Verify that the network client has IPv6 address configured (not just a Link-Local address). If on the same or separate subnet, try the following Ensure that setting for `IPv6 State` is enabled on the Network Settings Page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network/ipv6` target in the ILOM CLI. Run `ping6` in a restricted shell. Run `traceroute` in a restricted shell.
Unable to access ILOM from a client within a dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 network environment.	Ensure that the following settings are enabled: `State`. You can enable the setting for `State` on the Network Settings page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network` target in the CLI. `IPv6` `State`. You can enable the setting for `IPv6` `State` on the Network Settings page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network/ipv6` target.
Unable to access ILOM using IPv4 from a network client.	Ensure that the setting for `State` is enabled on the Network Settings page in the ILOM web interface or under the `/SP/network` target in the ILOM CLI.
