Network Interfaces and IPv6

You set many IP addresses in the network interface, one of which is the specific IP address for that network interface and others that are related to different types of management traffic. This section outlines rules you must follow for these entries.

• For the network-interface ip-address parameter, you can set a single IP address. When you are working with an IPv6-enabled system, however, note that all other addresses related to that network-interface IP address must be of the same version.
• Heterogeneous address family configuration is prevented for the dns-ip-primary, dns-ip-backup1, and dns-ip-backup2 parameters.
• For HIP addresses (add-hip-ip), you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 entries.
• For ICMP addresses (add-icmp-ip), you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 entries.
• For Telnet (add-telnet-ip), FTP (add-ftp-ip), and SNMP (add-snmp-ip), you are not allowed to use IPv6; your entries MUST use IPv4.
