IPv6 and Server Technology Products
Server Technology is introducing IPv6 “dual stack” support to the PDU product line. IPv6 has been designed to
succeed IPv4 as the dominant communications protocol for internet traffic, to avoid depletions of the IPv4 address
space, and to allow more IP address growth. Many devices already in use support IPv6.
IPv6 has several new operational methods:
Static IPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of Static IPv4.
DHCPv6 Address: The IPv6 equivalent of a DHCP IPv4 address, also known as a “stateful” auto-
configuration of DHCPv6.
IPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 4862): An automatically-generated unique link-local IPv6
address used for client based configurations. This address is always present in the Server Technology dual
stack and cannot be disabled.
DHCPv6 Stateless Auto-Configured Address – (RFC 3736): A “stateless” Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) service for IPv6 (DHCPv6). This address is used by nodes to obtain configuration
information, such as addresses of DNS recursive name servers that do not require the maintenance of any
dynamic state for individual clients.
Firmware – Protocol Support
IPv6 and IPv4 Protocols:
The firmware supports the following network IPv6 and IPv4 protocols:
DNS Ping
FTP (or SFTP) Server SNMPv1/2/3
FTP (or SFTP) Updates SNTP
HTTP or HTTPS
SMTP
Static IPv6 DHCPv6 (stateless and stateful)
Syslog SNMPv1/2/3 Traps
Telnet SSH
IPv4-Only Protocols:
The firmware supports the following network IPv4-only protocols:
Cisco EnergyWise
LDAP
Load Shedding *
RADIUS *
TACACS+
* = may work with IPv6 addresses, but not tested.
