Homogeneous Realms

IPv6 is supported for realms and for nested realms, as long as the parent chain remains within the same address family. If you try to configure realms with mixed IPv4-IPv6 addressing, your system will issue an error message when you try to save your configuration. This check saves you time because you do not have to wait to run a configuration verification (using the ACLI verify-config command) to find possible errors.

Parent-Child Network Interface Mismatch

Your system will issue the following error message if parent-child realms are on different network interfaces that belong to different address families:

ERROR: realm-config [child] and parent [net8888] are on network interfaces that belong to different address families

Address Prefix-Network Interface Mismatch

If the address family and the address-prefix you configure for the realm does not match the address family of its network interface, your system will issue the following error message:

ERROR: realm-config [child] address prefix and network interface [1:1:0] belong to different address families
