the same time as the IPv4 NTP server location options.
When Enable DHCPv6 in Stateful Mode (Address) is selected, Enable DHCPv6 in Stateless
Mode (Other) is always selected by default because it is implicit in the DHCPv6 Stateful
messages that are required between iLO and the DHCPv6 server.
IPv6 DNS server settings
• Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server, and Tertiary DNS Server—Enter the IPv6
addresses for the DNS service.
When DNS server locations are configured on both the IPv4 and IPv6 pages, both sources
are used. Preference is given according to the iLO Client Applications use IPv6 first
configuration option, primary sources, then secondary, and then tertiary.
• Enable DDNS Server Registration—Specify whether iLO registers its IPv6 address and
name with a DNS server.
General IPv6 settings
• Static IPv6 Address 1, Static IPv6 Address 2, Static IPv6 Address 3, and Static IPv6
Address 4— Enter up to four static IPv6 addresses and prefix lengths for iLO. Do not enter
link-local addresses.
• Static Default Gateway—Enter a default IPv6 gateway address for cases in which no router
advertisement messages are present in the network.
• Static Route #1, Static Route #2, and Static Route #3—Enter static IPv6 route destination
prefix and gateway address pairs. Specify the prefix length for the destination. Link-local
addresses are not allowed for the destination, but are allowed for the gateway.
iLO features that support IPv6
iLO 5 supports IPv6 in the iLO Dedicated Network Port configuration. It is not supported with the
Shared Network Port configuration.
The IETF introduced IPv6 in response to the ongoing depletion of the IPv4 address pool. In IPv6,
addresses are increased to 128 bits in length, to avoid an address shortage problem. iLO
supports the simultaneous use of both protocols through a dual-stack implementation.
The following features support the use of IPv6:
• IPv6 Static Address Assignment
• IPv6 SLAAC Address Assignment
• IPv6 Static Route Assignment
• IPv6 Static Default Gateway Entry
• DHCPv6 Stateful Address Assignment
• DHCPv6 Stateless DNS, Domain Name, and NTP Configuration
• Integrated Remote Console
• NEC Single Sign-On
• Web Server
• SSH Server
• SNTP Client
