Oracle ILOM Enhancement Allows Enabling IPv6 While Disabling IPv4

Starting with software release 1.2, Oracle ILOM has been enhanced to allow you to enable IPv6 while disabling IPv4. In addition, you can configure a static gateway for IPv6.

The user interface changes include:

In the Web Interface:

• Separate State fields have been added to both the IPv4 and IPv6 areas. Select or deselect the Enabled checkboxes to enable or disable the corresponding internet protocol as desired.

• If required, type a static gateway address in the IPv6 Static Gateway field.

In the Command-Line Interface (CLI):

• The state command has been expanded so that it only needs to be entered once, while configuring IPv4 or IPv6. The parameters are:

  • enabled – enable IPv4 and IPv6

    ---

    Note -  With SW 1.2 or newer, if IPv6 is disabled and you use the set /SP/network/state = enabled command to enable both IPv4 and IPv6, to finish enabling IPv6, you must also enter the command /SP/network/ipv6 state=enabled.

    ---

  • ipv4_only – enable IPv4 and disable IPv6

  • ipv6_only – disable IPv4 and enable IPv6

  • disabled – disable IPv4 and IPv6

• The ipv6_static_ipgateway command allows you to set a static IPv6 gateway.
