case, a DHCP server is used, but it is specifically configured to always assign the same IPv6 address to a
particular computer, and never to assign that IP address to another computer. This allows static IPv6
addresses to be configured in one place, without having to specifically configure each computer on the
network in a different way.
In IPv6, every interface, whether using static or dynamic address assignments, also receives a local-link
address automatically in the fe80::/64 subnet.
Implementing IPv6 with FTOS
FTOS supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and both may be used simultaneously in your system.
Table 25-2 lists the FTOS Version in which an IPv6 feature became available for each platform. The
sections following the table give some greater detail about the feature. Specific platform support for each
feature or functionality is designated by the following symbols:

Note: Dell Force10 recommends that you use FTOS version 7.6.1.0 or later when implementing
IPv6 functionality on an E-Series system.
